WAYNESBORO, Miss. (WDAM) - Samaritanâs Closet & Pantry in Waynesboro handed out bags of food items to members of the community on Friday.
The nonprofit organization helps to feed hungry families in Wayne County who otherwise may not have enough food to eat.
Director of Operations Eddy Hutto says the success of the program can be attributed to the tireless support from community members and an enthusiastic staff of volunteers. Many of those who are helped talk about how they depend on the food donations just to make it from day-to-day.
When children placed in the foster care system arrive at their new home, they usually donât bring much with them.
Jessie Miller, of Stanfield, learned that in September 2019 when she became a foster parent and the first child arrived without any extra clothing or other supplies.
âShe needed a lot,â Miller said. âIt just wasnât sustainable to do that with every kid that comes through our home.â
So in the summer of 2020, Miller started Sweet Potatoâs Closet. The âclosetâ â currently two storage units rented by Miller â holds donated clothing, toys, diapers, hair brushes and other supplies that are free to foster parents who need help outfitting the child or teenager they have welcomed into their home.
