It may seem like an odd time for a food drive, and that is exactly why we are doing it! Food banks get lots of donations around Christmas and holidays but they can run low in the summer months. That is why we are rallying our community to help North Fulton Community Charities with a summer food drive. All donations go to helping prevent homelessness and hunger in our community. We will be collecting canned goods on Sunday July 21 and 28, or you can drop them off at the Bridgeway Church office (4775 Kimball Bridge Rd) anytime between now and July 28. Below is a list from NFCC of the items needed and not needed.
