MUST Ministries

How you can help MUST Ministries:

• Drop off food donations at the West Cobb Library, Switzer Library, and a growing number of library branches in marked barrels. The most in-demand items for the West Cobb barrels are canned meat and beans, dry pasta, canned or dry milk, jelly, peanut butter, vegetable oil, oatmeal, and spaghetti sauce.
• A financial donation makes the greatest impact. Through our partners, we can purchase food for pennies on the dollar, stretching every gift to feed even more families. Give today at https://bit.ly/foodhelp2025.
• If you prefer to give in other ways, nonperishable, nonexpired food donations can be delivered to the MUST Donation Center, 1280 Field Parkway, Marietta, GA 30066. Hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Items can also be purchased and shipped directly through our Amazon Wish List, https://amzn.to/3Wnz00b.
• With greater need comes the need for more helping hands. Volunteers play a vital role in distributing food and serving our neighbors. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves, visit https://bit.ly/behelp to register.

Switzer Library Care Cabinets:

Care Cabinets at Switzer, South Cobb

The Care Cabinet at Switzer Library is short of donations of men's socks, haircare products and deodorant, library officials said Wednesday. Since July, the library at 266 Roswell St., Marietta 30060, has provided community members in need access to the Care Cabinet containing free hygiene products.

Accepted Care Cabinet donations include unused/unopened facial tissues, hand sanitizer, soap, women's socks, menstrual products, tooth brushes, travel-size shampoo, conditioner and body wash; and washcloths.

The Switzer Care Cabinets are modeled on the Hygiene Products Donation Drive at South Cobb Regional Library, 805 Clay Road, Mableton 30126. The South Cobb donations list also includes bottled water and quart- and sandwich-size zipper storage bags.
