Overview

As part of our commitment to the community, we’re proud to have extended a helping hand to those in need of food assistance in 2025:

• 5,950 families were supported, benefiting 18,393 individuals. This count includes 7,716 children (18 and under).
• As we did in 2024, families were eligible for assistance once a month with no limit to the number of months. This policy continues in 2026.

Our mission remains undeterred: To assist, empower, and unite in the face of adversity. We thank our community and congregations for standing with us in this endeavor.

How to Receive Food Assistance

No referrals are needed, but you do need to bring an ID of some sort showing you are a Muscogee County resident.

Please drive around to the back of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 2100 Hilton Avenue, and remain in your vehicle. A volunteer will come to you to get your information. And your food will be delivered to you.

WNN had to make the hard decision in October of 2022 to limit the number of families served each day to 25. It’s a first-come, first-serve basis, so please get here early. Our hours, starting November 1st, will be to start taking applications at 9:00 a.m. and start pushing buggies out as soon as possible. This is basically continuing our summer years but now that will be all year.

We are open Monday – Friday as well as the 1st Saturday of each month (unless the 1st is on a holiday weekend, which means we’ll be open on the 2nd Saturday).
