From thecfr.org/the-family-cupboard ↗About this program
, is a revolutionary way to ensure that families in need across Cobb County can achieve food security.
Unlike conventional food pantries that provide pre-packaged boxes of food, our choice pantry revolutionizes food distribution. Offering a personalized shopping experience, it empowers clients to prioritize nutrition while having the freedom to select their own food items, just like they would in a local supermarket.
The goal of The Family Cupboard is to empower our clients to make better decisions, regain self-confidence, and feel dignified in their ability to provide for themselves and their loved ones. We believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious and affordable food options.
Our six-month Food Security Program (FSP) helps families by providing food and other essential grocery items. Families in FSP work with a case manager, set goals to increase their food security and their ability to provide for their families. When FSP clients visit The Family Cupboard, they can select from a wide variety of food choices to prepare healthy and economical family meals. They also receive access to nutrition-related educational resources and delicious recipes, too.
