SOUTHEASTERN FOOD BANK...
is more than just a food bank – we are a place of resource to those in need who have fallen through the cracks of society. We are a place where true sustenance can be obtained, where you can receive not only food, but a message of hope, as we strive to be an extension of God’s hands. We are comprised of volunteers, non-profits, partners, and likeminded individuals who understand the need in our community.
"At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, or how many great things we have done. We will be judged by, I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.” – Mother Teresa

“There will never cease to be some in need on the earth, I therefore command you, open your hand to the poor and needy neighbor in your land. “ -Deuteronomy 15:11
