Mission Focus: The Killearn Food Bank
A foundational ministry at Killearn, our food bank serves between 75 and 80 families twice each month by collecting, sorting, packing and delivering food boxes. The Food Bank also helps alleviate food insecurity through supporting organizations that address local needs. Got questions about the Food Bank?
