The economic downturn has claimed another victim: an inner-city food bank that opened in Gainesville six years ago to serve the needy and destitute.“We’re about the people and closing ... has broken my heart,” said Jan Payne, who helps run Breaking Bread Food Pantry.“This morning, I had to deal with some ladies who are very hurt and angry, and they don’t know where their next meal is coming from.”Breaking Bread closed its doors Tuesday, breaking the news to shocked families who had gathered for their weekly distribution. The pantry, which operates out of A New Walk Christian Fellowship at 673 Bradford St., had served 165 families, Payne said.The organization gave families a letter, explaining its demise and partially blaming it on the Atlanta Community Food Bank.“Due to the rising cost of gas, electricity and insurance, the drain on the church to support and finance (the pantry) is just too much,” the letter states.The pantry had decided to charge families a weekly fee of $5 to receive food distributions “to help offset the costs, but the Atlanta Food Bank said we can’t do that or they will cut us off,” according to the letter.“They are a large part of our source of food. They made the final decision for us.”Rob Johnson, vice president of community services with the Atlanta Food Bank and the bank’s designated representative on the board of directors for the Georgia Mountain Food Bank based in Gainesville, said his organization offered to help the Breaking Bread Food Pantry but cannot continue to provide food if they charge for it.“Part of our standard agreement with any of our 600 plus partner agencies is that, yes, in order to get food from us they — among many other requirements — they must provide that food to the ultimate clients at no charge,” Johnson said.He noted a requirement from the IRS that prevents major donors from getting tax deductions if those they are donating to then exchange those goods for money, property or services.The Atlanta Food Bank receives significant donations from Kraft, Pillsbury and other large corporations, Johnson said, that wouldn’t come without that tax deduction.Johnson said the Atlanta Food Bank had been working with Breaking Bread since 2009.“We had offered to try to work with them to see if there weren’t other support we could provide to find more funding sources.
