Golden Harvest Food Bank will be holding a Mobile Market food distribution at their Augusta location at 3310 Commerce Dr. Augusta, GA 30909 this Saturday, July 24th from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.

Golden Harvest hopes to provide an influx of nutritious food to Richmond County residents, which is one of the counties with the highest rate of food insecurity in the Food Bank’s service area.

Anyone who is a Georgia resident is welcome to attend. To receive food, community members will be directed by volunteers to form a line as they drive up. Volunteers will place the food in the trunks of incoming vehicles. Please arrive in a vehicle with the trunk empty and bring a government-issued photo ID.

Golden Harvest has provided more than 16 million meals across its 25 county service area since COVID-19 began affecting our community. The Food Bank is still seeing an increased need for food due to the economic impacts of the coronavirus in Georgia and South Carolina.

“As our community strives to recover from the impacts of COVID-19, food assistance needs remain elevated as families work to rebuild their lives,” said Amy Breitmann, executive Director of Golden Harvest Food Bank. “To help address this elevated need we have opened back up volunteer opportunities at all of our locations. We depend on our community parters, donors, and volunteers to help us in the fight against hunger.”

Golden Harvest Food Bank had 1100 volunteers serving per month prior to the pandemic and is now inviting members of the community to get involved again. For more details visit https://goldenharvest.org/volunteer
