About the Jay Weaver Food Pantry:
We are a small congregation with a large food pantry mission, mainly funded by donations. Due to an increase in the already large number of neighbors in our area experiencing food insecurity, we handed out over 360 boxes of food totaling more than 21,000 pounds last Saturday, Nov 1. In addition, we provide food for 280 children at nearby schools to take home for the weekend.
Because of the increase in food insecurity, we need your help!
Here are the two best ways to support our food ministries:
The most effective impact comes from monetary donations. We buy food by the pallet from the Atlanta Community Food Bank at a greatly reduced price. Secondarily, we can also accept non-perishable, unexpired food items. We mostly need canned fruits and vegetables as well as proteins like canned meats, peanut butter and dried beans. Before buying (see above for most effective impact) check your pantry for items you’ve already purchased for foods to donate. We also give out pet foods when available.
For more information or volunteer opportunities, please email us at foodpantry@heritagepres.com. We have a box outside the church mission building, in which you can place items you’d like to donate. A pickup can be pre-arranged by appointment through an email request.
To make a monetary donation follow this link. 100% donated to the Jay Weaver Food Pantry will be used to purchase food for our neighbors.
