HOLIDAY GIVING
Due to COVID-19 and for the safety of our clients and volunteers, the Foodbank sponsored giving trees set-up at Mulberry’s Café and Country Rose will not be available this holiday season.
Instead we are hoping you will participate in the holiday giving by:
• Purchasing a specially marked Foodbank gift card of any denomination at the Piggly Wiggly in Union Grove.
The gift cards will be held at the Piggly Wiggly service desk and will be given out as directed by the Foodbank Coordinator. This will cut down on exposure to our clients and volunteers.
• You can also help by purchasing a $25 holiday meal in a bag at the Piggly Wiggly. Thanksgiving deadline: Nov. 23, 2020. Christmas deadline: December 22, 2020.

Our Service Area
How We Can Help
Our clients come from many walks of life but they share one thing in common: they need emergency food assistance. Maybe there is a job loss, ill health, bereavement, delays in benefits or other difficult situations. If your family needs assistance or you recognize a need in your church, school, or neighborhood, please give us a call so that we may help.
