IMMEDIATE FOR RELEASE


 


Our food pantry is almost empty and we are running out of food to give to the less fortunate. Please help by donating nonperishable food items to Valley Rescue Mission’s Food Pantry.


Each month we give away over 300 food bags through our Food Pantry. So far this year we’ve given 1,936 food bags!


Unfortunately, the number of needy and hungry families is growing faster than we can accommodate…. families with children who cannot make ends meet because of joblessness, rising food and energy costs, illness, tragedies, abandonment and poverty.


The slumping economy along with skyrocketing fuel and food costs have made this year as challenging as we have ever had.


The families who come to us in need know that you care deeply about their circumstances. They know you provide resources to meet their needs.


 


To schedule a donation pickup please call 706-322-8267 or you can drop off a donation at:
