Help fill plates! 🍽️

The need is high and our inventory is low!

We’re in a food shortage and now, more than ever, food drives help us fill the gaps. Consider hosting a food drive through your company, business, church, school, civic organization, clubs…every little bit helps us nourish families in the community!

If someone tells you they're experiencing abuse, your response matters. Many people aren't sure what to say in that moment, and that's okay.

A caring response often starts with listening and believing what they share. From there, you can avoid blame, ask what kind of help feels safe to them, keep their story private, and connect them with local resources like Harmony House.

A common question is whether you should confront the person causing harm. Direct confrontation can sometimes increase the risk to the person being hurt, so it's usually better to focus on their safety and talk with an advocate first. Our 24-hour crisis line, 706-885-1525, is free and confidential.

Food banks across the country are seeing more families come through their doors.

NBC News surveyed food banks in 35 states and Washington, D.C. Nearly three in four said they’re serving more people than last year. At the same time, higher food and fuel costs mean every dollar has to stretch further to get food to communities.

No single thing is behind this. Grocery prices, rent, transportation, health care costs and changes to food assistance are all adding up at once. Neighbors are telling us this isn’t a short rough patch. In our recent survey of people who have experienced food insecurity, 81% said people in their community are dealing with long-term financial stress, not temporary hardship.

That’s why food banks are planning now for a longer stretch of need. Programs like SNAP and local food banks work best side by side, and both types of support must remain strong for neighbors.
