MOULTRIE — The Ministries of Hope House will be holding its September Hope for the Hungry on Saturday, Sept. 29. It will be held from noon to 2 p.m. at the former Hope House location at 17 West Central Ave., and Moultrie Technical College will be providing the meal and serving it.
Sparkman's Dairy will also be on hand to hand out free milk. The Colquitt County Clothing Bank, located at 17 West Central Ave., will also be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. holding a “Brown Bag Saturday.”
The “Brown Bag Saturday” will allow people to fill-up a bag with winter clothes for only $5. This is to help people who might not be able to get a referral for the clothing bank, but still need affordable fall & winter clothing. The clothing bank has some brand new clothes, with the tags still on them as well as used clothing.
In order to help raise money for the Hope for the Hungry event, Moultrie Tech held a “Change for a Change” campaign on campus. It raised more than $500 in just one day in August, and the Student Leadership Council also donated funds for the project.
The event falls during Gov. Sonny Perdue’s “Hands On Georgia Week,” encouraging volunteerism in communities from Sept. 29 through Saturday, Oct. 6.
