There’s a small blue shed filled with shelves of donated goods from piles of toiletries to a freezer full of locally sourced meat behind Mt. Pleasant Community Church in Crawford.
Led by Board of Education Chair Becky Soto and Jill Kort, the divisional business and finance manager with UGA’s Franklin College, a small cohort of volunteers spent a recent Saturday morning packing the donations into organized bins for The CAYA House’s February donation delivery.
The CAYA House, a local nonprofit providing families in Oglethorpe County with consistent fresh food and household essentials, is different because it offers monthly donation deliveries to families. These donations range from fresh produce and eggs to laundry detergent and toothpaste. They are also able to provide aid based on specific needs and dietary restrictions.
