Local Food Pantry Dedicates New Carport The St. Michael the Archangel Church recently held a dedication ceremony for its new carport and four commercial freezers for its food pantry. The purchase of these items was made possible through a grant from Lions Club International, funds donated by the Woodstock and Ball Ground Lions Clubs, and contributions from St. Michael’s parishioners.Speakers included the Rev. Larry Niese, Food Pantry Director Patrick Arko, and Dennis Campbell from Lions Club District 18-L. Other key personnel involved in the project were Parish Administrator Debbie Quinn, Lion Gopinath Govindaraj from the Woodstock Lions Club, and Mike Minnick from A-1 Construction, who built the carport.The St. Michael’s food pantry is stocked by the generous contributions of church parishioners, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, and retail partners Publix and BJ’s. The food pantry provides frozen meats, fresh produce, dairy products, nonperishable foods, and bakery items. Food is distributed to those in need by volunteers.
