Greene County Food Pantry Joins the Chamber

GREENSBORO, GA - The Greene Chamber of Commerce is happy to announce that  the Greene County Food Pantry (GCFP) has joined its growing membership. GCFP’s  mission is to provide a nutritionally sound assortment of food to those in need every  month. Currently GCFP serves approximately 550 families that help feed about 1300  Greene County residents living below the poverty level. Seniors and qualifying families  with children account for 60% and 20%, respectively, of the pantry’s clientele. Due to  higher food prices and inflation, more and more residents depend on the pantry for  assistance. In 2023, The GCFP spent more than $156,000 to feed our needy!    

Steve Peluso, GCFP’s President stated “Joining the Chamber of Commerce gives us  the opportunity to connect with other nonprofits and businesses to gain awareness for  the Food Pantry and grow our volunteer base. We operate the pantry with two  compensated employees, Tonya & Daisiana (pictured below), as well as numerous  volunteers from within our community. We provide services to our families on Monday,  Wednesday, and Friday from 10am until 1PM at 10 M.L. King Jr Dr; #519-521;  Greensboro, GA 30642.”  

Chamber President Mika Mills expressed her appreciation for the essential community  service the Food Pantry provides and hopes the Chamber can assist them in gaining  more partners and sponsors to help them grow and serve many more in our  community.
