During the month of July, the GMFB along with dedicated volunteers helped to provide over 200 lunches daily to the Boys & Girls Club of Hall County!!!

Almost 50 volunteers picked over 200 pints of fresh organically grown blueberries over 4 different evenings at the Nix farm in Lula! The volunteers worked efficiently and quickly to pick buckets & buckets of berries! Special thanks to everyone who participated!!! We delivered the berries to the Boys and Girls Club of Gainesville, Greater A Manager Community Outreach Center Summer Reading Camp, John Paul II Training Center, Gateway House, and St. John’s Baptist Soup & Sandwich Ministry. Mr. Nix made the experience fun and easy and he & his wife “looked” and packed the berries for us! We can’t thank Mr. & Mrs. Nix enough for this great gift to the food bank and local feeding agencies.
