Food pantries and free groceries in Douglas County GA.
Anyone that is struggling to feed their family can turn to a food pantry for help. Several charitable centers in Douglas County distribute groceries, personal hygiene supplies, and even holiday meals to struggling low-income individuals or those with no money. The goal is to never turn anyone away, but if a pantry doesn't have enough items in stock then the staff may refer the client to other programs.
The non-profit food banks help children, the elderly, and others in the community. In some cases they will even deliver a meal to a disabled or home bound resident of the Douglasville Georgia area as part of Meals on Wheels. Many of the pantries are open daily and also have limited amounts (when possible) of free pet food to give away. So numerous services are run year round.
It is always recommended to call a center in advance to determine what they can do to assist, if anything. As resources vary but range from a hot meal at a soup kitchen to baby formula and more. Many of the pantries also operate limited hours and may require supporting proof of the hardship, such as income or lack of employment.
