WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — After holding a food drive last week, this Warner Robins group decided to continue paying it forward with another drive Monday morning.
The Shekinah Glory Praise & Worship Center partnered up with the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank to feed the community through their second food drive this month.
Warner Robins volunteers and community members were able to send over 375 families home with food.
"It was a blessing to be able to serve and be a blessing to the community," says center leader Stephanie Parker. "It feels good to be able to lend a hand and show some love."
Parker wants the drive to let others now that they aren't alone during the pandemic.
During both drives, Parker saw how much the food drives meant to members of her community.
"I've had people get emotional in the car, just to see that someone was out there and they cared about them... To see that we were willing to do whatever we could do to make things a little easier for them," says Parker.
Parker says she is looking forward to giving back to the community with similar events in the future.
The worship center is also asking for people to donate their lightly worn shoes for their shoe drive.
To learn more, call the Shekinah Glory Praise & Worship Center at 478-273-4057.
You can also drop off shoe donations at the center, located at 1311 Green Street in Warner Robins.
