Dot Foods’ Georgia Distribution Center in Vidalia Donates $36,000 of Food to Four Area Pantries
The donation, part of Dot's Neighbor-to-Neighbor program, includes truckloads of food delivered by company employees to local pantries.
The Dot Foods Georgia distribution center in Vidalia recently donated $36,000 worth of food and other necessities from its current inventory to four local food pantries through the company's Neighborto- Neighbor program.
The Neighbor-to-Neighbor recipient pantries in the Vidalia area are: Evergreen True Vine Holiness Church – Vidalia, GA Southeast Georgia Communities Project Inc. – Lyons GA God's Store House Food-Clothing – Vidalia, GA Lyons Free Will Bap tist Church Food Pantry Lyons, GA Each food pantry selected items from Dot's inventory list to best meet their specific needs. Dot employees assisted pantry staff and volunteers with receiving and unloading the donations at each location.
While Dot's charitable work supports a range of causes, fighting food insecurity remains central to the company's mission. In addition to the annual Neighbor- to- Neighbor program, which launched in 2014, Dot provides donations to local food pantries throughout the year.
'We are so grateful for Dot Foods' generous gift. This donation will allow us to serve countless families in need. At SEGCP, our gratitude is expressed every day in the way we meet and support our community.' said Andrea Hinojosa, Co-Founder and Director, Southeast Georgia Communities Project Inc.
