VALDOSTA —
Three Event Highlights
• The Haven has partnered with Second Harvest of South Georgia to host a food drop, open to any person in need of food. The food will be given out on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• Event organizers noted that the food given out will primarily be canned and nonperishable items. Only one person per household can receive food.
• Morning Star Baptist Church will have a clothes closet open and volunteers on hand to assist with those needs as well.
Why You Should Participate
“The Haven is doing this for the community to help with the need. We strive to serve and have a voice in the community. We will also have information on domestic violence and sexual assault to help spread the word on the services we have available. It is an awareness event as well as an offering to the community.” — Karen Yawn, shelter manager, The Haven.
