People line up for food Saturday at the Food Bank, at the old Julia P. Bryant Elementary School. America's Second Harvest from Savannah delivered 40,000 pounds of food to the Food Bank, enough for about 600 families, and the Food Bank distributed it on Saturday. - photo by Special
The Food Bank, operating in its new location on Donnie Simmons Way in the old Julia P. Bryant School, is working diligently this summer to make sure no one in Bulloch County goes hungry. Beginning Monday, Statesboro Cares, a summer feeding program for children in prekindergarten through high school will offer a hot meal weekdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Though registration is not required, Joe Bill Brannon, the director of the Food Bank, encourages anyone interested to call (912) 489-FOOD (3663) so workers can have an accurate count for food preparation. “We hope this is the beginning of a good thing,” Brannon said of the new service.
