Help those in need this season. Two local charities based in Blue Ridge, Feed Fannin, founded in 2009. Feed Fannin is a volunteer organization working together to educate and encourage the community towards self-sufficiency while providing food for those in need. Snack in a Backpack, provides food for students who get their meals at school, and may have little or nothing to eat on the weekends. A bag is filled with non-perishable, healthy food items by volunteers and delivered to their designated schools for the children to take home over the weekend. This food may help feed other family members as well.
