Support Barnabas Center and enjoy the Northeast Florida Fair by donating four canned food items on “Feed the Hungry Monday” on Oct. 14. The fair offers free admission to anyone who brings four canned goods to donate to our food pantry. Every year, we collect thousands of pounds of food that will go to our neighbors who are struggling with food insecurity. 

We are incredibly grateful to those spearheading this effort, including Northeast Florida Fair Marketing/Gate Manager Brian Simmons. In addition, Barnabas Center thanks the Yulee High School students from the Future Business Leaders of America District 4, who will sort the donations at the Barnabas Center.

Barnabas Center depends on donations to the pantry to support our food distribution efforts. Last year, we provided more than 700,000 pounds of food to the community.
