Engaging the Poor - 2

I have just gotten off the phone with The Big House Foundation. This is a group turning the Allman Brothers old home into an Allman Brothers Museum - the Big House Museum. The call was in response to a critical need in the community. Macon's food banks are running out of food. People are already being turned away and food is being strictly rationed. So, The Big House Foundation would like to partner with New City Church, the 567, and the Capitol Theater to launch a city-wide food drive. We will work next week to grow our city partners and Launch the drive the first of November with a Press Conference.
Of all the churches downtown, it looks like New City will lead the drive and distribution.
