Where Your Money GoesAbout Red Door Food Pantry
“The Red Door Food Pantry exists to fight food insecurity in Bartow County.”
Red Door started as an outreach ministry of The Episcopal Church of the Ascension in downtown Cartersville, handing out the same few items each week to 30 to 50 people. After joining the Atlanta Community Food Bank in 2013, it could buy food for about sixteen cents a pound, and it grew into a privately funded 501(c)(3) that now serves around 1,000 households a month.
Families pick up produce, bread, meat, canned goods, and snacks at the pantry each week. Red Door also runs a Senior Box program for neighbors 60 and older and a monthly mobile pantry in Euharlee, and it works alongside partners like Backpack Buddies, Advocates for Children, Cartersville City Schools, and United Way of Bartow County.
Because food costs so little through the Food Bank, small gifts go a long way: at about sixteen cents a pound, a $5 vote can stock roughly 30 pounds of food.
