Food Bank

did you hear on wmgr tv & radio station about new food bank in town to help those in need. will be a good thing if not abused. i understand you do have to fill out paper work to qualify and you are checked out. that is a good thing. This will keep the lazy, only want hand outs, from getting the food that qualified people need. there are a lot of families in bainbridge that could really use this service.

what is the name of the food bank? are you talking about the TLC Pantry?

that is great news, a lot of people in Bainbridge need help especially around the holidays.

Theres a group, Angel Food Ministries, i don't think its a food bank per say, but they have like these grocery packages that include meats, fresh veggies, dairy, etc. for amazing prices. The best thing is they serve everyone regardless of income. Every month the come out with a new menu of choices, theres something for every household!We have saved alot on our grocery bill. I know theres one in D'ville that you can order from but not sure if theres one in B'dge. I think they even accept food stamps.

The Salvation Army also has a food bank, right next to Country Market/ Grocery Outlet.

the food bank of west bainbridge baptist church does not charge any money, people in real need do not have the money to pay for this food, you just have to qualify and you get food.

good luck getting food or anything from salvation army.

Remember to donate and support the Salvation Army, they need funds to be able to help the community. Tax deductable donation, shop in the store, etc etc. Everyone wants something for free but no one wants to give back to the community.

You are right about the Salvation Army. I have heard stories about the lady that runs it and they say that she has embarrassed some of the people when they come in for help and treats them very disrespectfully in front of others.

You are nothing but a trouble maker, on here gossiping about stories when you don't know any facts. Maybe you should do something productive with your life or just get one?

I have a son that needed help one time with food and tried calling the salvation army and "nothing" happened. will never call them again for anything.

if you qualify, you can get food from the west bainbridge baptist church, no cost to you.

Also can get in touch with the TLC Panty

I have personally taken people to the Salvation Army and the were helped in the most professional manner. If you truly need assistance, please give me your email, and I will make arrangements to meet you up there. That said, there is often confusion in this world about genuine need and wants. Sometimes wants need to be sacrificed for needs. I would say that entertainment and luxury should be eliminated in the balancing of needs and wants if one has finite resources. A case in point, if one can afford a pack a day cigarette habit, but need help with feeding a family, perhaps the priorities need to be reevaluated. Ditto for beer. If you are truly hungry, I can help you be fed, just let me know.
