Chatsworth Food Bank

I hope this finds you having a wonderful Thanksgiving week, I've seen hundreds of folks daily 'what I'm thankful for' lists on Facebook and it has been amazing to read the thankful hearts day to day. Gail and I are in town and hosting Thanksgiving for her very large family and I cannot wait to see everyone.

A have recently learned that the Chatsworth Salvation Army food-bank is in short supply of food to give to people in need and with that in mind I am asking everyone who can to help supply this organization with some food. Here is a list of some things that they need [Where to donate will follow]

• PEANUT BUTTER
• SPAGHETTI SAUCE
• SPAGHETTI NOODLES
• CANNED BEANS (PINTO, BAKED, ETC)
• SOUP
• CANNED MEATS
• CORN
• GREEN BEANS
• CARROTS
• FRUIT
• CANNED TOMATOES
• MAC & CHEESE
• OATMEAL
• BAGS OF RICE
• DRIED BEANS
• CEREAL
• CANNED MILK
• BOXED DINNER MEALS
• FROZEN FOOD ACCEPTED [Limited freezer space]
• TOOTHPASTE
• ANTIPERSPIRANT
• SHAMPOO
• SOAP
• BASICALLY, FOOD WON'T BE TURNED AWAY

Those in need of food can pick up on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9am - 3pm and MUST have a social security card and picture ID with them - they are closed this Thursday and Friday. You can contact them directly at 706.695.7605.

There are three ways to donate:

1. Deliver directly to the Salvation Army building at 211 West Fort st [Diagonally across from the Chatsworth post office - it is the Former Red-Cross building on Alt 52]
2. Bring it to Rock Bridge Chatsworth church service at 10:30am on Sunday
3. I can meet you at the new Rock Bridge Chatsworth building at 822 North 3rd Ave in Chatsworth. You can email me at gus@rockbridge.cc nd we can arrange a meeting.

Most of us are not living in a place of major overflow, but most of us can share something to make a difference. You can also serve by volunteering time between 9am-3pm Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fridays. I am praying that we can meet their needs in a MASSIVE way and I pray you have a blessed Thanksgiving.
