ATLANTA —The Magnolia (GA) Chapter of The Links, Inc. and Big Bethel A.M.E. Church will host the grand opening of a community food pantry on Jan. 18, 1 to 4 p.m., at Big Bethel A.M.E. Church, 220 Auburn Ave.
The pantry was established in response to rising food insecurity affecting families, seniors, and working households across Metro Atlanta. The initiative is supported by the Atlanta Community Food Bank, whose invaluable partnership strengthens the pantry’s capacity to provide consistent access to nutritious food, The Links stated.
“As Links, our charge is to respond when communities are in need,” said Lisa Rayam-Tucker, president of the Magnolia (GA) Chapter of The Links, Inc. “This food pantry represents our commitment to meaningful service and collaborative solutions that address hunger with dignity and care.”
The pantry also aligns with Big Bethel’s long-standing mission of outreach and community support. “Big Bethel has always been called to serve beyond the sanctuary,” said Jonathan C. Augustine, senior pastor. “This pantry is an extension of our ministry, meeting a critical need while affirming that no one in our community should face hunger alone.”
The grand opening will welcome community members, partners, and volunteers to tour the pantry and learn about ongoing services.
