Food Bank in need of money
Canned goods, nonperishables also welcome donation
W 120915 FOOD BANK 01
With some help from Sue Hunter and Natasjha Murrain, far left, regular Statesboro Food Bank volunteers Betty Robins, far right, and Lauraetha Farr-Best of the Original First African Baptist Church store frozen meat donated by Walmart for distribution to local people in need. The food is either served at Rebecca's Cafe or distributed to at least 200 local families each month.
Most people think of canned goods and nonperishable foods when considering donations to local food banks, but the Statesboro Food Bank needs cash, too.

Bryant school building on Donnie Simmons Way, the utility bills have more than doubled, said Food Bank director Joe Bill Brannon. “We need money,” he said.
