Carroll and Paulding County food pantries.
In an emergency, there are free food pantries in Paulding and Carroll County. The non-profits that run these locations may not only be able to provide a box of groceries, but the volunteers help in other ways as well. Depending on the location and donation levels, some of the other programs range from hot meals to food stamp applications, clothes, and vouchers for basic needs.
The food banks do not discriminate based on race, religion, or age. Even the churches that have a pantry will try to help anyone in need if possible. In fact, many of the clients of the Paulding County distribution centers are senior citizens or single parents. The disabled and homebound can even seek a free Meals on Wheels service.
The primary locations are below. For more information on hours or the application process at a certain food pantry, call a center for more details.
