Clay County Food Pantry


  • Clay County Food Pantry is being affected as the food bank they receive donations from, Manna, was located in the Asheville area. Although Manna is in the process of relocating, residents of Clay County who use the food pantry will feel the effects of this until operations have stabilized. You can help by making a  financial contribution or a donation of non-perishable, unopened food, prepackaged food directly to the pantry.
