Welcome to a new location!

This week, the CFC officially moved into the new location - 311 Whitecrest Drive. 
See the great article in The Blount Today

Bill Phillips, left, and Larry Ladd with Community Food Connection of Blount County talk about the commercial space Phillips and his wife Gwen are giving to the CFC. The location is a 311 Whiteside Drive, Maryville, adjacent to Rhea’s Diving.  There are too many people to thank individually so I have to say "Thanks to Everyone!" for making this dream come true.  The new space is wonderful.  It has a large door so pallets of food can be brought in. 

This Saturday is the yearly Postal Drive for the Food Connection. We get LOTS of food all at once, which leads to LOTS of sorting and stacking. If anyone is available to help do any of that this weekend, drop by the new location anytime from 2-5 PM on Saturday afternoon.  Help is also needed from 1-5 PM on Sunday so that would be another option.  They would love to have any help - there will be lots to do.

what kind of help do you guys need specifically? (not sure if i spelled that word right or not???) i would love to let my 7yr old help with something within our community and am wondering if this would be appropriate for us?
thanks!
