Helping Those Who Help Others


From Georgia-

Several Smyrna churches including St. Benedict’s Episcopal Church, which is holding a July 12 food drive, are helping MUST Ministries restock its food pantry in light of its recent shortage.

About two weeks ago, MUST Ministries announced that its food pantry was running low on supplies. Now some Smyrna churches are answering the call to help.

MUST, which serves residents in Cobb and Cherokee counties, has seen a significant increase in the number of people asking for assistance. The nonprofit organization that operates a food and clothing pantry in Smyrna has witnessed a 35-percent increase over this same time in 2010. On a typical day the MUST food pantry gives out about 2,000 pounds of food.
