As we move into the season of giving, the Cherokee Sheriff's Office, along with a number of agencies throughout the county, have partnered up with a local church in an effort to give back to their community. It's a wooden cabinet on the side of a building, but it's more than just a cabinet. For those who live near Greater Church on Bells Ferry Rd. in Acworth. This food pantry is a sign that Cherokee County cares for all of its citizens. Think the cost of inflation that's happening right now is really making a lot of average American families. Struggle right now and this being in the community really helps supplement that cost. That's really a big burden on everyone right now. Some of us have lived here all our lives. That's what we look at for the citizens that they are basically our family and that we're going to take care of them and do what we can. You know, sometimes you have a stigma in government that they only care for themselves, but not here and not in this county. This project came about because 25 Cherokee County employees from numerous agencies joined together through the Carl Vincent Leadership program. They came up with this. Food pantry that would be sustainable for years to come. It took us about a day, but once we were done and and the food pantry was created, it was it was self gratifying. I mean it was just amazing. You can get help without ever even talking to anybody or having to give anyone your name. You don't have to be embarrassed. Pastor Chino with Greater Church says when the leadership approached him, he was beyond elated. It matches with our DNA who we are. We're committed to this community. We don't pastor at church. We passed our community. So. That was really cool, Fit a line with who we are, and I also personally went to church where the food pantry was set up, so that was a surprise. I didn't realize that's where it was going to be. So it was really emotional because I was a child in that community. I know what they're about and just a great sense of pride, Pastor Chino tells us. They have pockets in their community where families are now living in mobile homes without power, water, and more often than not, without food. They feel underprivileged, marginalized. They don't feel like they can. So I think it's been positioned in the best place to be able to provide this for them. Just food, which it's a basic life thing that we need. I just think it's beautiful that we are in a county that actually cares for the people and actually is providing for them, not just with words and political slogans, but with action. This food pantry relies on several nonprofit organizations, private citizens, and even this church to stay stocked. The good news is it's open to the public 24 hours a day. Seven days a week.
