Quiet. Unassuming. Hard-working. Dependable and resilient. Traits of those who make a difference. Like Keith Carver. This gentleman IS the Senior Brown Bag Program at The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, hand-selecting the items placed in each bag (with a few treats like teas, fresh fruits and even soap included by this thoughtful guy). And so we thought a room should be dedicated to Mr. Carver to honor his efforts: the Keith Carver Senior Brown Bag Distribution Center. His name, heart and kindness never to be forgotten within the walls of FBNEGA...❤ #SeniorBrownBag #FoodInsecurity #FBNEGA #Georgia #AthensGA #KeithCarver
