The Connecting Point Church in Bogart in partnership with the Food Bank of NEGA has agreed to facilitate a mobile food pantry in Oconee County each month in 2012. Working with the Oconee County School District, the distribution sites will be rotated across the county in order to make the free groceries more accessible to residents who are in need.
The next distribution date is Thursday, February 23, 2012 at Oconee County PRIMARY School located at 2290 Hog Mountain Road in Watkinsville. We are encouraging local residents, clubs/organizations and high school & university outreach groups to get involved by volunteering at one of these events. You will see, first hand, how great the need is in our county and how grateful our neighbors in need truly are, when we help them stretch their food budget with a box of free groceries. To volunteer visit http://www.yourcp.org/calendar and RSVP on-line or email debysorensen@yahoo.com. Volunteers are requested to arrive at 3pm to prep for the grocery distribution from 4-6pm. This is an outdoor event, so please wear weather appropriate clothing and always wear closed-toe shoes.
Requirements for receiving a free box of groceries are similar to families who receive free or reduced lunches for their children at public schools.
