South Hall pantry fills increasing need
0130pantry2
Richard and Ann McDivitt, along with another volunteer, load a truck at the Georgia Mountain Food Bank. For every dollar the South Hall Community Food Pantry spends at the food bank, $6.25 worth of food can be purchased.
Andy Seibert, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, helped carry the bags and boxes, loading them into the trunk of no-nonsense volunteer Bea Simmonds’ car. The Flowery Branch United Methodist parishioner waved away questions, more interested in getting the show on the road; the food pantry’s provisions were bound for families whose shelves lay largely bare, and she didn’t have time to stand around and chat. The South Hall Community Food Pantry, in its loaned shed behind Oakwood First United Methodist Church, is tidy by necessity.
