Family Services and Assistance Programs

Families who are having difficulties at home, be it martial dysfunction, children acting out, or problems with mental health, cannot focus on improving their lives without proper nutrition. Various non-profit organizations in the Cumming area specialize in providing food to those in need. Feed the Hungry Forsyth gathers breads, meats, vegetables and sweets from local businesses that would otherwise throw them away, and delivers them to local food pantries for distribution to poor families. Each year, well over 80,000 pounds of food is delivered free of charge.⁴ The Food for Thought Project makes donating and gathering food extremely easy. Volunteers get a big orange bag that they can fill up with non-perishable food items once every other month. Workers from Food for Thought will then pick up the donated items for distribution to the needy.⁵ Together, these agencies help families meet their nutritional needs so they have the necessary energy to tackle life's other issues. Contact Food for Thought at 770-744-3571 or Feed the Hungry Forsyth at 678-807-9120 to find out how to help.
