Since Columbia County is not that large, and it borders bigger cities such as Augusta GA, some of the food banks are in nearby communities. But struggling families or individuals can still drop by and apply or use a drive thru food banks. Even if a pantry can't provide the groceries that someone needs, they may have referrals. After all there are programs including SNAP food stamps, Meals on Wheels, and Summer Food Service Program available among others.

When applying at a food pantry, bring the following. Proof of income; residency; age of all household members; and bring a license or social security card for identification. All pantries have limited resources, so it is a good idea to call for hours or to see what may be available.
