The Food Pantry purchases food from the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and two local grocers. We also receive donated food from individuals and, on occasion, from other charitable organizations. The food is stored in our warehouse and boxed for clients based on family size and composition. The boxes are given to families who qualify by being residents of White County and meeting USDA poverty thresholds.

The Fulton Fresh Mobile Market was created in 2008 to educate residents living in communities designated as food deserts on the importance of fresh, in-season produce.

After several years of successful adult programming, Fulton Fresh will add a Kids’ Market summer program this year.
