july second harvest

GREENSBORO, Ga. — This is a reminder that Second Harvest will hold its monthly food distribution on Saturday, July 20 from 8to 9a.m. (or until food supplies are depleted). In addition, the Lake Oconee Humane Society will be on hand to distribute pet food and supplies.

The distribution will be held at the First Methodist Church Greensboro-Lake Oconee at 202 W. Broad St. in downtown Greensboro.

Sponsors of the Month are the Lake Oconee Elks.

This school year’s BackPack Sponsors of the Month, ensure Second Harvest-supported local elementary students had a weekend meal.

Second Harvest is a signature project of the Rotary Club of Greene and Putnam Counties. The mission of the program is to eliminate hunger in these counties. The program started in late 2008 by identifying places to “rescue” excess food. Over the years, the program has expanded to include monthly food distributions and the School Backpack Program which provides “weekend backpack meals” to elementary school children from low-income families.
