They have a Drop-Off Box at the Marietta Post Office. Borodino Church has a Food Drive the 1st Sunday of every month. People can also drop off food at her house on 743 Route 41, Homer (as there is no one at the Fire Barn most times)

How it works: You go to the Spafford Fire House 3rd Friday of the month, from 4 PM-8 PM.  You pick out the food you want. Rose has 4 helpers, someone will always be on hand to show you the ropes.

Rose Clark started the Spafford Food Cupboard in May 2001 when approached by Peace, Inc. of Tully about forming a food pantry. It took 6 months from first inception, until Rose found the necessary form needed to legally set it up (a 503c form) with the help of the Borodino Church. Borodino Church is their "umbrella" or sponsor. The actual pantry is held in a room at the Spafford Fire House. She would like people to know that emergency food is available, people can give her a call at home and she will open the doors.
