Pictured from left Bacon County Family Connection Coordinator Laura Crozier, Bacon County Public Library Branch Manager Connor Griffin, BC Library's Caleb Holton, BCFC Boardmember Terry Davis, and BC Library's Summer Intern Rose Taggart.
Summer feeding program will begin May 28
Thanks to the Ware County School Nutrition Program and the Bacon County Public Library, hungry children in the community will have a free lunch available this summer. It's the first time in several years Bacon County has been able to have such a program. Sack lunches will be available Monday - Friday in the community meeting room at the library from May 28 through July 18.

Community supports Fifth Street Food Pantry
Our shelves are filling up again at the Fifth Street Food Pantry! This is thanks to donations of canned goods and other staple items donated by the people of Bacon County and collected by Sarah Hutchinson, the Bacon County Senior Center, and the Alma Post Office. We hope to be able to reopen the food pantry the first week of June. Alma Fellowship Church also donated canned openers to the pantry. Thank you to all who gave so generously!
