Community Resource Center Seeks Food And Household Donations

Local News, Local News Items #chattoogacounty, #ChattoogaInfo, #CommunityResourceCenter, #CommunitySupport, #CRCChattooga, #DonateLocal, #FoodDrive, #FoodPantry, #HelpYourNeighbor, #northwestgeorgia, #summervillega, #WZQZ, #wzqznews 0

The Community Resource Center of Chattooga is asking for help keeping its pantry shelves stocked as more local families continue to rely on the organization for assistance.

CRC says August was a busy month, with many neighbors coming through the pantry and causing some of the most commonly requested items to move quickly.

The organization is encouraging churches, workplaces, Sunday School classes, civic groups and groups of friends to consider holding a simple food or supply drive.

Items especially needed right now include peanut butter, jelly, canned fruit, canned proteins such as chicken or tuna, toilet paper, paper towels and other everyday household essentials.

CRC says a large-scale drive is not necessary. Even a few people collecting a few items each can help keep the pantry ready for the next person or family who needs assistance.

Donations can be taken to the Community Resource Center of Chattooga, 50 Eleanor Avenue in Summerville.
