On Tuesday, New Birth served 308 families.
New Birth is also seeking donations of canned goods and non-perishable items at the church (administrative office side of the building) or monetary donations at newbirth.org (specify the King's Table).
New Birth is not just offering food for the body, but nourishment for the soul as well.
Recently, the Rev. Jamal H. Bryant, senior pastor, announced a 24-hour prayer line. The number is 770-484-7113.
