June Community Impact

A Month of Abundance

We Care Food Pantry June Community Impact — 172 Families Served

June's Food Giveaway was a wonderful success. Cars were lined up an hour before our 10:00 a.m. start time, and our volunteers served everyone who came despite the intense heat. We also saw an increase in the number of families served — from 142 last month to 172 this month, an additional 30 families.

Thank you to all our donors who faithfully contribute food each month. We are always looking for additional food sources. Would you consider hosting a canned or boxed food drive, or making a donation to support our pantry?

We also thank Clarke County Hot Topics for consistently sharing what is happening in our community. Our food giveaway takes place on the fourth Thursday of each month.

We Care Food Pantry and We Care Community Center are outreach ministries of True Word Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Clarke County and the surrounding areas.
