The mission of MUST Ministry’s Save It Forward program is to eliminate hunger for at-risk students in local schools so they have a greater opportunity to succeed in school and life. We partner with schools by providing food and toiletries to children and families in need through campus-based food pantry program. Save It Forward (SIF) works very closely with the school social worker to identify children and families in crisis and serve them on a monthly basis throughout the year. One of the unique things about our program is how we empower the community to stock the food pantries by coupon shopping. Thank you!
There is also have an Adopt-A-Family program. This is a one time or recurring donation to help feed hungry kids and their families. Donations of $12 per month or $144 per year help to provide a family in need 75 lbs of food and toiletries each month.

Injuries from falls are a leading reason Cobb residents visit emergency rooms and vision problems are identified as a top risk factor for falling, especially for seniors. According to the CDC, the average hospital cost is more than $30,000 for a fall injury. To help our community address this, three area Lions Clubs will offer free vision screenings in September at five county libraries. The screenings are for adults and children, from six months of age. Lions Club volunteers use a screening device to detect possible vision issues that require follow-up professional care. Walk-ins are encouraged. The free screenings will be held:
