Feed the Boro Feeds Thousands - Turns Away Hundreds Saturday

As the sun rose early Saturday morning, scores of Feed the Boro volunteers were unloading tractor trailer loads of food from Second Harvest Food Bank.

Simultaneously, hundreds of Bulloch county citizens were lining up at Statesboro High School to receive food from the emergency Christmas food drop.

In less than two hours, volunteers had provided over 1,000 families enough food to feed a family of four for one week. Unfortunately, they ran out of food turning away nearly 200 cars. As volunteers closed the lines and began cleaning up the site, cars continued to come, seeking assistance.

Need is great in Bulloch County

This exemplifies the severe need for food assistance in Bulloch County. The emergency drop was necessary to help provide critical food needed by hundreds of families.

This Feed the Boro emergency Christmas food drop will help get hundreds of families through the Christmas holidays.

The need is heightened, due to Bulloch County Schools two-week Christmas break. Nearly 7,000 children in Bulloch County depend on the schools to provide them food. When there is an interruption, there is a need.

The need is increased this year due to the COVID 19 pandemic which has caused many Bulloch County residents to remain out of work.
