Residents in the Teloga area are invited to take part in a Community Food Drive this Saturday, September 19, aimed at helping local families and strengthening the community.

The food distribution will be held from 10 AM until noon, or until supplies run out, at Beersheba Presbyterian Church, located at 9977 Highway 337 in Summerville.

Organizers say no identification is required to receive food. Those planning to attend are asked not to line up before 9:30 AM.

The event is being held under the theme “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” and is designed to provide food assistance to people and families in the community.

Volunteers are also needed to help with Saturday’s distribution.

The Teloga Community Food Drive is being made possible with support from the Atrium Health Floyd-Polk Foundation and Helping Hands Food Support Community.

Organizers say the goal is simple: bring neighbors together to support one another and help build a stronger Teloga community.

Chattooga Family Connection is preparing for this year’s Back to School Bash, scheduled for Thursday, July 16, 2026, from 4 until 6 PM at Chattooga High School.

Organizer Maisha Ludy says last year’s event was a major success, serving a total of 396 students as they prepared to return to the classroom. That included 254 elementary students, 97 middle school students and 45 high school students.

This year, organizers are hoping to make the event even bigger and better for local families. They are currently accepting school supply donations, monetary donations, and community partners or vendors who would like to set up at the event and share helpful resources with families.

The Back to School Bash will serve students from both Chattooga and Trion. Families will be able to connect with local resources while students receive support and supplies for the upcoming school year.
