The T and S Foundation in Bainbridge, Georgia is working to combat food insecurity in the local community by hosting regular feeding events and providing other resources like clothing to families in need. The foundation serves between 200-250 families each month, offering hot meals and building connections to ensure families feel welcomed and supported.

Why it matters

Food insecurity is a growing issue across the country, and the T and S Foundation's efforts highlight how community-based organizations can make a meaningful difference by providing not just food, but also a sense of community and belonging for those facing difficult circumstances.

The details

The T and S Foundation hosts community feeding events every second and fourth Saturday of the month at locations like St. John's Episcopal Church in Bainbridge. In addition to hot meals, the foundation provides clothing and other resources to families in need. Last month, the foundation served nearly 300 hot plates. The foundation's director, Latasha Whigham, says they see people from all walks of life accessing their services, including young adults, parents, and seniors, many of whom are facing food insecurity for the first time due to job loss or other hardships.

  • The T and S Foundation hosts community feeding events every second and fourth Saturday of the month.
  • The next event will be held on Saturday, April 11th, 2026 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. at the Briarwood Apartments in Bainbridge.

What they’re saying

“There's a story behind every person. And some of them, you know, just, some of them just, you know, got off to a wrong start or started off good and things went, you know, a different way. Maybe they lost a job. Maybe they lost a family member who was their biggest supporter, and it just stirred them in a different direction.”
