Douglas and Linda Cosby receive, sort and organize volunteers to help them distribute the food during the mobile food pantry, which is scheduled for the second Monday of every month at Lexington Baptist Church, rain or shine.
Advertising by word of mouth for volunteers, the food pantry relies on community participation.
The monthly distribution day begins when the Cosbys arrive at the church with pre-ordered U-Haul boxes that are later used to designate each household's food. Later a delivery truck arrives with the month's food supply sourced from the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia.
Volunteers help sort the food and hand out boxes until the food runs out or the line of people waiting disappears.
“This is part of the church's mission to help the community and those in need,” Douglas said.
