Prodisee Pantry Prepares Holiday Food Boxes

As the holiday season approaches, several community organizations are ramping up efforts to support families in need. The Carthage Christmas Club plans to distribute food boxes filled with ham, canned goods, and fresh produce to around 100 families on December 14, relying on financial donations and volunteers for support. In Baldwin County, Prodisee Pantry has packed 1,200 holiday food boxes and expects a significant demand, with pick-up dates scheduled for December 3, 10, and 17. The pantry has seen a 5% increase in families seeking assistance this year, exacerbated by rising food costs. Meanwhile, Rooted For Good's mobile food pantry in DeKalb County will provide free food and household items throughout December at various locations, open to all without requirements. These initiatives highlight the growing need for food assistance as inflation continues to impact families across different regions.
