Thanks to the Georgia Mountain Food Bank our church is able to reach out to many families in our area for a minimum amount of money. Being able to take the funds we have and stretch them farther is an awesome blessing for us all. There are many, many different reasons that people reach out for help. We are glad that we don't have to limit our food distribution to only one type of need due to our lack of funds. The people at the GMFB are awesome to work with and they are very interested in our community and they are always seeking information on how to better serve. Ann Jones, Enon Baptist Church Alto, Georgia
