NFCC is Running Out of Food

NFCC is seeing over 100 families a day in need of food and/or financial help. 

Food requests in summer always increase when children are home from school and food goes out the door faster than it comes in.  

This summer our community has been generous with food drives and food donations have been higher than ever.  In July North Point Community Church collected over 15 tons of food, Lexis Nexis collected over 5 tons, Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce collected another two tons and Siemens employees donated 1800 boxes of cereal.  

Other food drives and individual donations have helped.  Donations of fresh produce from the Chattahoochee Nature Center’s Unity Garden, backyard gardeners and local community gardens are welcome additions to the staple food being given out daily to hungry families.  

However, as August ends, we find our Food Pantry shelves bare of certain important food items.  Canned meats, non-creamed soup, peanut butter and jelly, dry beans, canned vegetables (not corn or green beans) and tomato products are especially needed.  We are asking that when you visit your local grocery store and shop for your family, please purchase a few extra items for your neighbors?
