OVER 10,000 POUNDS OF FOOD DONATED LOCALLY
Putnam Christian Outreach recently celebrated an extremely noteworthy benchmark, having distributed over 10,000 pounds of donated food to needy Lake Country residents in the first quarter of the year. Donations from the Rotary Club of Greene and Putnam Counties, Putnam County LifeSource, All Angels Episcopal Church in Eatonton and Farm To Table have provided hundreds of families and individuals with fresh products for optimal nutrition.
Other local organizations, such as the First Baptist Church of Eatonton, have also donated food and monetary aid to assist PCOI in supporting the local community.
“Without the help of these local organizations and individuals, we wouldn’t be able to serve as many people as we do at our monthly food drives,” said PCOI Executive Director Vanessa Jackson. “There is always a need. Last year we provided food assistance to over 2,800 families. We are beyond thankful for our community partners and angels.”
