The Cancer Foundation successfully hosted four Mobile Food Pantries in 2024!
We are so thrilled to share with our donors, doers, and door openers the measure of our impact from our four Mobile Pantries of 2024, in partnership with the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia!
We are proud to report that through the four Mobile Food Pantries we held in 2024, we served 1,892 individuals from 606 households with 48,048 pounds of food. That means we provided our neighbors, including 369 families impacted by cancer, with 37,247 meals!
