Councilwoman highlights New Life Presbyterian food pantry's monthly Creel Park distribution
Summary
A City of South Fulton councilwoman said the New Life Presbyterian Church expanded its food pantry to include a once‑a‑month distribution at Creel Park, which she described as improving weekend access to food for residents who cannot visit during the week.
City Councilwoman, Sixth District, told the City of South Fulton City Council that New Life Presbyterian Church expanded its food pantry to include a once‑a‑month distribution at Creel Park, saying it has helped residents who cannot make weekday pantry hours.
"Expansion of the New Life Presbyterian Church food pantry to include a once a month distribution at Creel Park, has significantly benefited our community by lessening food insecurity among vulnerable populations and making food accessible on the weekends to those residents who are unable to make it to the church during the week," the councilwoman said.
She described the change as improving families' ability to allocate limited resources for other necessities but did not specify whether the city provides funding, staffing, permits or other formal support for the distribution. The remarks were presented as part of the councilwoman's statements and did not include a motion or vote recorded in the transcript.
The councilwoman framed the distribution as one of several community efforts aimed at improving stability and well‑being for vulnerable residents; the meeting transcript does not state program enrollment numbers, funding amounts or an implementation timetable.
