Chattanooga Area Food Bank

Yesterday, for the first time, I was able to go volunteer at the Chattanooga Area Food Bank. I heard they needed help from the volunteer coordinator at CSAS, where my girls go to school. The need has come about primarily because many of their usual volunteers are staying away because of COVID-19.

I called the Food Bank last week to find out more information. The receptionist told me they provide over 1 million pounds of food per month and service 20 counties in Tennessee and Georgia. After my conversation I went to their website to sign up as a volunteer. ​

I am planning to volunteer each week, at least for while, until they can rebuild their volunteer base. If you are interested in volunteering, please let me know. We could put together a group. If you want to plan around your own schedule and volunteer on your own time, go to this link to sign up: http://www.chattfoodbank.org/involved.

My experience yesterday was encouraging because most of the pallets that were loaded to be delivered today or tomorrow had the names of several different churches who were purchasing food to help people. What a great testimony. That's something in which I want to be involved and invite others to join as well.
