Submitted / The Outlook Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry volunteers help load groceries into residents’ vehicles on a rainy Thursday earlier this month.

Rain or shine, volunteers with the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry are dedicated to providing food to the community every Thursday. While things may look a little different in terms of operation, the mission to feed the needy remains the same.

“It’s really a needed necessity in the community to have this type of resource for those who need it,” said Gianna Edmunds, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-Ed educator for Tallapoosa and Coosa counties. “And it’s awesome that every week, whether it’s rain or shine, volunteers are out there early in the morning.”
