Join GAPCG in giving non-perishable food items to the DEAM Food Pantry collected by Avondale Estates First Baptist Church to distribute to community families that might go hungry without your generous gifts.

​We've elected to collect donations at the July guild meeting to provide donations during school summer vacation when young children may not as easily be able to get daily meals through free lunch programs at school. 
​So clean out your pantry &/or go shopping to join us in donating to the Food Pantry in record breaking numbers this year!
