Northwest Georgia Hunger Ministries

We are a non- profit Food Bank located in Rome GA offering a variety of programs to serve our community.

Serving over 1,000 families a month, the Bagwell Choice Pantry supplements families with food, essentials, and a sense of community. The client choice model seeks to eliminate waste and secure a sense of dignity for the families we serve. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, we pack over 2,000 Backpack Buddies a week. This program provides meals to kids over the weekends who are experiencing food insecurity. We serve Rome City and Floyd County Schools, Chattooga County Schools, and Polk County Schools. We are committed to providing essential services to our medically fragile and elderly populations residing in rural areas. This is achieved through a volunteer-based home delivery service. Our organization leverages extensive partnerships with various agencies, including adult protective services, cancer navigators of Rome, area agency on aging, and law enforcement, to determine eligibility for this program.
