Tift County Commissioners Paul Webb and Melissa Hughes and members of the Exchange Club donate canned goods from Dollar General for a countywide food drive. 

TIFTON – Tift County Commissioner Paul Webb is organizing his March Madness Canned Food Drive and is accepting canned good donations for families in need this year. 

After Exchange Club members discussed the canned food drive with Dollar General, the district manager is putting donation boxes in stores throughout the county. 

Canned goods can also be donated at the Charles Kent Administration building.

“I wish every county did this because it isn’t just Tift County,” Webb said. “I don’t know of a single county right now that doesn’t have a person or a family going hungry unfortunately.”

Fellow County Commissioner Melissa Hughes supports Webb’s canned food drive as she too understands the needs of her county. Hughes is organizing a sock drive side by side to the canned food drive. 

Socks can also be donated at the Charles Kent Administration Building located on Tift Avenue.
