Alpharetta’s Community Paramedic Program, My Watch Alpharetta, stocks a small food pantry with dietary staples to help fill food gaps for those in need. The program, part of the Alpharetta Fire Department, has reached out to community partners who can help provide food ingredients to help pull together meals.

As stated on the city’s website, “No one in our community should be wondering where their next meal will come from, but this concern is a reality for some.”

Those needing assistance, or wanting to help those in need, contact commparamedicine@alpharetta.ga.us, 678-920-3479 or 678-297-6247.
