PORCH-Marietta, a collection of volunteer, grassroots neighborhood organizations, is continuing an ongoing food drive to stock the food pantry at Brumby Elementary School and the Center for Family Resources.
Participants leaved canned goods on their front porch on a designated day of the week that are collected by neighborhood coordinators. The items are sorted and delivered to pantries, agencies and families in need.
PORCH chapters have emerged around the country after the concept was begun in Chapel Hill, N.C. in 2010.
The East Cobb neighborhoods taking part in PORCH-Marietta include Sentinel Lake, Indian Hills, The Oaks, Heatherleigh, Paper Mill Manor, Chimney Lakes and Timberlea Lakes II.
Liz Platner, the chapter leader of PORCH-Marietta, says that in lieu of canned goods, financial donations can be made on the chapter’s website.
The link also has specific needs of items listed for Brumby and CFR, and remaining collection dates for 2022.
