What
is the relationship between It’s Spooky To Be Hungry CSRA
Chapter and Golden Harvest Food Bank?
Since Spooky’s inception in the greater Augusta area, Golden
Harvest Food Bank has been the recipient of all proceeds
of the local Spooky effort. They distribute the proceeds throughout
their 25 county service area.
By 2006, the continued phenomenal expansion of the Spooky
CSRA Chapter required us to think creatively about our all-volunteer
organizational structure. As a result, we formed a local partnership
with Golden Harvest Food Bank, that allows our volunteer corps
in Augusta access to the continuity and support that can be
provided by a much larger organization. With added support
from Golden Harvest Food Bank’s professional staff and “bricks
and mortar” resources, Spooky CSRA can continue to grow, without
having to invest in and duplicate such expensive services.
Golden Harvest and BCSS remain independent entities, pursuing
our independent but complementary missions, working together
with mutual support. And all proceeds of the Spooky drive
continue to be spent solely on the purchase of food, with
no deductions for administrative overhead made by either organization.
