Cornelia UMC will provide dinner and groceries to those needing assistance from 4-5 p.m on Saturday, June 19th. No reservations are needed. This is a continuation of their response to those needing help during the pandemic.
According to Debbie Rumbold, the chairman of the kitchen committee, the volunteers never know how many people to expect since reservations are not required. They have fed groups as small as 150 and as large as 250. When they have food left over, they feed the area’s first responders – police and sheriff offices, fire departments, hospital workers, and EMTs.
The fifteen volunteers at Cornelia United Methodist Church partner with the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia in Clayton. Volunteers cook, pick up and pack the bags of food from the Food Bank, and distribute the food.
Cornelia United Methodist Church is located at 275 Wyly Street in Cornelia.
