Organizers say Cordele center will offer pantry, clothes closet, youth programs and meeting space
Summary
Crisp County Community Council and other partners described planned services at the new Cordele Incorporated community center, including a food pantry, clothes closet, meeting spaces and youth activities intended to support families and young people.
Monica Robinson, executive director of the Crisp County Community Council, described a range of services the center will host and framed those offerings as investments in families and children.
"A food pantry feeds families, but it also gives hope," Robinson said, listing a clothes closet, meeting spaces, youth activities and even an arcade as ways to create safe places for children.
