City of LaGrange Launches Community-Wide Food Drive to Support Local Families Facing Hunger

The City of LaGrange is calling on the community to come together and support our local families facing hunger by donating canned and shelf-stable food items to its “Give a Little, Feed a Lot” campaign. 

This initiative is a collaborative effort with the City of LaGrange, City of West Point, City of Hogansville, and Troup County Government. Collection bins are currently placed throughout Troup County to make it easy for residents to drop off donations. These bins will collect food items through December 31^st. Everything collected will be donated to Feeding the Valley – LaGrange, which distributes food to more than 60 partner agencies throughout the community.

Nearly one in four residents in LaGrange lives below the poverty line. The City of LaGrange wants to do its part to ensure no one in our community goes hungry this holiday season. Every donation makes a difference.

Most-needed items include:

• Canned fruits and vegetables
• Dry or canned beans and soups
• Canned tuna, chicken, and salmon
• Pasta, rice, and grains
• Peanut butter and nut butters
• Baby food and formula
