Serving Hope in Madison-Morgan County
This month, we are shining a spotlight on two incredible local mission partners: the Madison-Morgan Community Food Pantry (MMCFP) and The Caring Place! Both of these organizations are doing vital work right here in our community, living out the call to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our neighbors in need.
The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 19:17, ‘Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his deed.’
Madison-Morgan Community Food Pantry
The MMCFP believes that everyone, without exception, should have access to food without barriers. Every Saturday morning, they provide 190 to 220 boxes of groceries to over 140 families through a convenient drive-through service. This entire operation is 100% volunteer-run and funded exclusively through the generosity of donors. Beyond groceries, they also work to provide pet food, hygiene items, and baby supplies when available.
📍 Location: Pearl Burney Campus (920 Pearl St, Madison, GA 30650)
⏰ Service Time: Food boxes are given out every Saturday from 11:00AM to 12:00PM.
🤝 How to Help: Volunteers are needed on Saturdays at 9:45AM.

The Caring Place
The Caring Place is a food pantry that has been serving our Morgan county neighbors in need for over 28 years. This is a 501c3 organization that first opened its doors to residents of Morgan County on Good Friday, 1997. Neighbors in need are welcome to come every Friday to receive a box of food from 8:00AM to 12:00PM. The Caring Place operates solely with volunteers and is reliant on the generosity of faithful donors in the community. We see the need increasing as we continue to sign up more new families each week. We are currently distributing an average of 202 food boxes per week. In addition to the distribution of food, our volunteers talk with clients, refer them to other resources to help meet additional needs, and pray with them as needs are expressed.
📍 Location: 1140 Monticello Rd, Ste 400, Madison
⏰ Service Time: Food boxes are given out every Friday from 8:00AM to 12:00PM.
🤝 How to Help: Volunteer to pack or carry boxes, help unload delivery trucks, make a food donation, or make a monetary donation.
