Dropping Potatoes Everywhere...
While gleaning is the main way we get fresh produce to people who need it, some of our partners use crop drops as community awareness events to share nourishment to neighbors and reduce food waste. Dunwoody, Columbia Drive and Covington-First United Methodist Churches along with Georgia College's Give Center all hosted drops that showed their heart to build caring communities.
