This Thanksgiving, let us handle the food — so you can focus on what matters most.
Ways We Serve
We provide food assistance to seniors, hospice families, and other adults experiencing barriers to food access — including those living with disabilities, veterans, and recently widowed individuals.
Referral-based Food Support
We provide shelf-stable food boxes for seniors, hospice families, and adults who face barriers to food access.
Requests come through caregivers, nurses, and community partners who identify individuals in need and submit referrals on their behalf.
Each request is reviewed based on current inventory and donations to ensure responsible use of resources and accurate distribution.
Food Boxes Packed With Care
Each box contains shelf-stable, ready-to-use pantry items selected for nutrition and ease of preparation—such as canned vegetables, soups, pasta, rice, and proteins.
When available, we include extras like breakfast items or hygiene products.
Contents may vary week to week based on donations, but every box is packed with the same standard of care.
Community Partnership Network
We work directly with healthcare providers, caregivers, churches, senior services, and veteran organizations to reach those most at risk of food insecurity.
These partnerships allow us to focus resources where they’re needed most and ensure efficient, coordinated support across Northeast Georgia.
Through collaboration, we expand our impact and keep food moving to the people who need it most.
Guided By Our Core Values
Compassion
We lead with empathy and respect. We understand that food insecurity among seniors and hospice families is often private and complex, and we respond with care — never judgment.
Dignity
Every person deserves access to food without stigma or burden. We provide support discreetly and respectfully, ensuring help feels supportive, not intrusive.
Commitment
We stay focused on our mission and the people it serves. Each box packed and each partnership formed reflects a long-term dedication to fighting food insecurity in our region.
Stewardship
We care for what we’ve been given. Every donation, hour, and opportunity is handled with care and purpose — always aligned with our mission to serve.
About Northeast Georgia Food Pantry
Local Volunteers. Kind Hearts. Real Impact.
The Northeast Georgia Food Pantry (NEGA Food Pantry) is a small, volunteer-led nonprofit serving Habersham, Stephens, and surrounding counties.
Our work centers on providing shelf-stable food boxes to seniors, hospice families, and other adults experiencing barriers to food access — including those living with disabilities, veterans, and recently widowed individuals.
We operate through a referral-based model, partnering with caregivers, nurses, churches, and local organizations that identify individuals in need of food assistance. This targeted approach allows us to use community donations efficiently and ensure that food reaches those most at risk of going without.
The pantry is supported entirely by local volunteers, donations, and partnerships. Every box packed represents our community’s shared belief that access to food is a basic need — and that those who’ve spent their lives caring for others shouldn’t face hunger alone.
Currently serving Cornelia, Demorest, Mt. Airy, Toccoa, Lavonia, Martin, and nearby areas, with continued growth possible through community support and collaboration.
