Family Connection’s
Clothes Closet Not
Accepting Donations
Our COVID-19 response has limited the number of people who
enter our building to staff and volunteers only. As a result, no
clothing and household goods are being taken home by clients as
they cannot enter the premises to choose items. We accepted
donations after closing the building for a few weeks. Now, our
storage room is literally packed to the ceiling. Until we resume
normal day-to-day operations, we cannot accept clothing or
household goods. We will concentrate our efforts on the primary
job at hand which is to feed hungry people in our community.

Our Community Gives…
Many thanks to community businesses and organizations who have
donated to the Food Pantry during this time of need. Pictured to the
right: Mr. Lin and family of Tin Loong Restaurant deliver boxes of fresh
vegetables & desserts. Bottom Left: Karrie & Jeff Jones deliver “kid
food” for the pantry to distribute to families with children who are home
from school. This food was collected by the staff and cast of Four Old
Broads at the Blue Ridge Community Theater. Middle right: Tim Richter
of Toccoa Riverside Restaurant makes a drive through delivery of a $500
donation to the Food Pantry.
The Kiwanis Club of Blue Ridge raises funds through their August Ro-
deo, fall Raffle, and weekly Bingo. Kiwanis donates over $30,000 yearly
to the community by giving to various charities and school clubs. Family
Connection received a generous $5,000 donation from Kiwanis during
our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Pictured bottom right: Kiwanians Ken Wil-
liams, Treasurer, Larry Ray, President, Morris, and Ken Brenneman
THANK YOU to our many donors who donate
money or bring food to the pantry each and eve-
ry month! We are so blessed.
VOLUNTEER opportunities are available for the
Pantry. Pantry hours are Monday-Thursday, 10
am—12 Noon and 1 -3 pm.
