Where do my Stuff the Truck donations go?
Your donations go to the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank--or MGCFB. They've been operating since 1982 with the mission of providing equitable access to nutritious food with the help of community partners. The MGCFB serves 24 counties with a population of more than 716,000 people.
Why non-perishable items?
According to MGCFB, about 106,000 people (one in seven) and nearly 40,000 children (one in four) are considered food insecure in our community. The simple definition of food insecurity is a person who doesn't know where their next meal will come from. Many people to turn MGCFB and other organizations to get by. 13WMAZ and MGCFB want to help decrease those numbers and change lives in our community.
I can't make it but still want to help. What can I do?
