Feed the Boro’s next Food Drop event will be held Saturday, February 3 at Statesboro High School, located at 10 Lester Road/10 Coach Lee Street. Food distribution begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 11:00 a.m. or when all food has been distributed.
This event is in partnership with Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia and presented by Statesboro Food Lion. It is sponsored by The Islands Statesboro.
From Feed the Boro:
In November 2020 at the beginning stages of Covid, Feed the Boro began conducting monthly 1000 family food giveaways in the Bulloch County area. At each of these monthly drops approximately 1000 families received enough food for a family of four to have two nutritious meals a day for 7 days.
On February 3 rd , Feed the Boro will surpass delivering over two million meals to thousands of families. There is no charge for families receiving this service, there is no income verification conducted and food is distributed on the day of the event until all food is gone.
Feed the Boro operates in partnership with Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia and Food Lion Feeds to provide this service.

*This event was originally scheduled for January 6, but due to possible bad weather was cancelled and rescheduled for Feb 3

About Feed the Boro:
Feed The Boro is a non-profit organization that coordinates feeding residents of Bulloch, Candler and Evans county. The organization was started 27 years ago in Bulloch County. The goal was to “reach people that may not have a warm Thanksgiving meal available on Thanksgiving day but just as important to give a moment of human kindness and sense of belonging and community to people that may be alone or experiencing a sense of depression during what is for others a time of family and celebration”. When able, the organization holds Food Drop Events during other times of the year as well.
