Our community is awesome!

In the current climate of government shut down and limited services, we want to help alleviate fear and replace that with knowledge and peace. Here is a list of current food pantries in Carthage, as well as other avenues to get hot meals or food help. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need a hand, our partners are ready to help! If you would like to volunteer or donate to these agencies, please contact them directly. Carthage is an amazing and generous town. Our agencies don't hesitate to collaborate and support each other and more importantly our citizens!

Please share and spread the word!
