TROUP COUNTY, Ga. — A group of Troup County cities, and the county government, are working together to support local families facing hunger during the holiday season.
"Nearly one in four residents in LaGrange lives below the poverty line. The City of LaGrange wants to do its part to ensure no one in our community goes hungry this holiday season. Every donation makes a difference," city officials said.
To help fight hunger, the LaGrange “Give a Little, Feed a Lot” campaign is seeking donations of canned and shelf-stable food items.
