About Us
Founded in 2007, the Greene County Food Pantry is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID #26-213-5416) dedicated to reducing hunger in our community. We proudly serve qualifying residents of Greene County, Georgia, through monthly food distributions designed to ease the burden of food insecurity. All donations to the Pantry are tax-deductible.
Our goal is to provide individuals and families in need with a nutritionally balanced selection of groceries, such as fruit, vegetables, canned goods, boxed dinners, rice, and bread.
Since opening our doors, the Pantry has served more than ~550 families monthly, with each receiving an average of 40-50 pounds of food per visit. Over 2 million pounds of food have been distributed in the past six years alone. Through compassion, community support, and a commitment to dignity and respect, we continue to work toward a future where no one in Greene County goes without the basic necessity of food.
