Press Release - February 22, 2020
The Clay County Food Pantry (CCFP) has been providing food for our less fortunate families in Clay County for almost three decades and is once again preparing for its annual Gottlieb Matching Funds Drive. This is possible due to the generous matching gift that is being donated by Jerry and Wanda Gottlieb. The Pantry will receive a matching gift for every dollar received. Donations of food items will also generate a matching gift.
Thank you to our generous community including individuals, local businesses, and churches, for making last year’s matching fund drive so successful. During the year of 2019 we were able to distribute over 12,500 boxes of food through over 10,100 family visits from Clay County residents. This year’s matching fund drive will run from March 1st to April 30th.
Your tax deductible donations via check can be made out to Clay County Food Pantry and mailed to PO Box 853, Hayesville, NC 28904 (please write “Gottlieb” on the memo line). Food items can be donated in person any Friday, 9AM to 1PM, at the Pantry located at 2278 Hinton Center Rd., Hayesville, NC. Please remember all these donations, cash and/or food items, will be matched. Thank you in advance for your support.
