YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. — A community food distribution will be Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 5:30 p.m. at the Campus Cupboard, Young Harris College’s food bank.
The Campus Cupboard, located in the middle of the YHC campus, was established as a food pantry to serve both students and the local community. The distribution point will be set up on Duckworth Street, just past Sharp Memorial United Methodist Church, as you pull into the campus.
“The Campus Cupboard, now in its second year, has served over 2,500 people since it began,” said Rev. Adam Daniels, YHC campus chaplain. “We are both excited and humbled by this. Excited to be able to help so many of our neighbors and humbled that there is such a need in our community. But this is YHC at its best, coming alongside our neighbors and offering a helping hand. It’s what we tell our students an education is for: to serve the world. And this is a small way we can do that.”
The remaining community distribution date for 2026 is:
- Dec. 30
All events start at 5:30 p.m.
“This is a great opportunity to reach out to the local community in support,” Daniels said. “It provides much-needed relief for those struggling right now. With everything else, you shouldn’t have to worry about having something to eat.”
The Campus Cupboard is a joint effort of YHC Religious Life, Sharp Memorial UMC, and the Food Bank of Northeast GA.
