Gordon County Hunger Walk raises $5,000

- From Gordon County Christian Ministeria­l Alliance

The 12th Annual Gordon County Hunger Walk, held recently at the Calhoun Recreation Department walk trails, was a huge success for those in need of help from our area food banks.

This year the Gordon County Christian Ministeria­l Alliance, who sponsors the event, decided to include another food source to its list of ones receiving the donations from the walk.

First Fruits Ministry of North West Georgia, housed at World Harvest Church, along with Blewer Food Pantry (Gordon County Memorial

Baptist Associatio­n), God’s Pantry (Seventh Day Adventist Church), St. Vincent de Paul (St. Clements Catholic Church) and the Voluntary Action Center Food

Program received money from the walk.

An amount of $4,689 was raised prior to and on walk day. The Ministeria­l Alliance added to that to bring 2021

total to $5,000. Checks for $1,000 each were delivered to these 5 area food sources that help neighbors in need.
