CRC Chattooga Seeking Volunteers For Upcoming Community Projects

CRC Chattooga is asking local churches, civic organizations, businesses, youth groups and other volunteers to lend a hand with several projects as the organization prepares for the fall and winter months.

The Summerville-based organization says it has two major projects coming up and hopes groups from throughout Chattooga County will consider volunteering.

The first project is a painting crew needed next weekend. CRC Chattooga is looking for one group, or several smaller groups, willing to help paint the organization’s Distribution Room and Produce Room.

Organizers say the project could be a good service opportunity for a church group, Sunday School class, youth group, business, civic organization or simply a group of friends looking for a way to help in the community.

CRC Chattooga is also looking for volunteers to help with its Clothes Closet as the organization makes the seasonal transition from summer to fall and winter clothing.

That project will include hanging and sorting clothes, organizing the Clothes Closet, putting away summer items and getting winter clothing ready for distribution. The work can be completed during the same weekend as the painting project or at another time during the following week.

CRC officials say having several volunteers working together can make relatively quick work of the projects while helping the organization prepare to serve families during the colder months.

The organization operates from 50 Eleanor Avenue in Summerville and provides assistance to people in need in Chattooga County.

Anyone with a church, business, organization, family or group of friends interested in taking on one of the projects is encouraged to contact CRC Chattooga directly. The organization can be reached at 706-808-0477 or through its Facebook page.

CRC Chattooga describes its mission with the message, “Fighting Hunger • Feeding Hope • Empowering Chattooga.”

Community Resource Center Seeks Food And Household Donations

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.

CRC Chattooga Seeking Men’s Clothing Donations

CRC Chattooga is asking the community to help restock its Clothes Closet, with a special need right now for men’s clothing and shoes.

The organization recently shared the story of a guest who came in hoping to find something many people may take for granted — a pair of shoes that actually fit. After finding a pair in the Clothes Closet, she was so excited that she told volunteers she did not want to take them off, even to sleep. CRC officials said the moment was a reminder of how much a simple donation can mean to someone in need.

CRC Chattooga’s Clothes Closet operates much like a free thrift store for the families the organization serves. Clothing, shoes, household goods, personal care products and other donated non-food necessities are available through a point system, but there is no charge to the families receiving the items.

Right now, the organization is especially looking for gently used men’s shirts, jeans, pants, jackets, shoes and other clothing.

CRC Chattooga is encouraging local residents to take a look through their closets and consider donating items they no longer wear. An unused shirt or pair of shoes could make an important difference for a neighbor who needs it.

Donations may be taken to CRC Chattooga at 50 Eleanor Avenue in Summerville.

CRC Chattooga Seeking Volunteers To Deliver Food To Local Families

CRC Chattooga is looking for volunteers willing to give a little of their time each week to help deliver food to local families who are unable to visit the food pantry themselves.

The organization is currently seeking a two-person volunteer delivery team that can work together one day each week to deliver food boxes to families in need throughout the community.

According to CRC Chattooga, volunteers would typically deliver only two to four food boxes each week, but those deliveries can make a significant difference for families who cannot travel to the pantry to pick up food.

The opportunity could be a good fit for two friends, spouses, family members or others who would like to volunteer together while helping their neighbors.

CRC Chattooga provides food and other assistance to individuals and families throughout Chattooga County.

Anyone interested in joining the volunteer delivery team is encouraged to contact CRC Chattooga directly or send the organization a message through its Facebook page for additional information.
