Councilman Johnny Walker and friends kick off "MUST Food-Raiser"

Marietta-based MUST Ministries is in desperate need of food supplies for at-risk students and families who don't have enough food due to the school closings because of the COVID-19 virus.

Marietta City Councilman Johnny Walker and friends, Mark Mozley and Hal Vaughn, kicked off the "MUST Ministries Food-Raiser Challenge" Friday morning at the MUST Donation Center, in an effort to help MUST serve these families. The challenge is for people tagged on Facebook to donate a box of food or $35 and tag others.

MUST has been coordinating food distribution both in partnership with other organizations and independently. The number served in the last 4 workdays has totaled an amazing 3,750 families. To put it into perspective, MUST typically distributes food to 1,500 families a month.

MUST is asking the community to pack food boxes using this list. Donations will be accepted at two curbside locations, the MUST Donation Center, located at 1280 Field Pkwy., Marietta,GA and the MUST Cherokee location, located at 111 Brown Industrial Pkwy., Canton, GA.

You can also shop online and ship non-perishable items to the MUST Donation Center. To give financially, visit mustministries.org/give-help. To sign up as a volunteer, visit mustministries.org/community-outreach-opportunities
