MACON, Ga. — No Limits International Ministries and New Hope Baptist Church held a “Feed the City” drive on Saturday.
The event happened in the parking lot of New Hope Baptist, where visitors were offered free meals, gift cards, toiletry items, and diapers.
"The families right now are in need. I talked to a woman this morning and she said this is the very thing that she needed. She said that she had been praying and she said that she needed just some food, and so we were able to help a family have food today," said Pastor Carol Walker.
The Pastor of No Limits Ministries says she wants the community to know they’re thinking of them beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
“There is still hope, there is still expectation. Let everybody know that we're now thinking about other things besides COVID. We know that COVID is on the rise, but there's also hope on the rise and there's people out here that care for them,” said Walker.
Over 1,500 people were fed at Saturday's event. Organizers also connected folks to community resources, like groups that help with rental assistance.
