Leadership Bulloch Class of 2026 Project

The Statesboro Food Bank Outdoor Expansion

We’re raising funds to build a permanent covered outdoor patio and classroom space at The Statesboro Food Bank.

This area will expand their ability to serve families safely and efficiently year-round. The covered patio will be used for food distribution during high-demand days, emergency response efforts, and community programs like nutrition classes, container gardening workshops, children’s activities, and the Winter Market.

This project directly supports the Food Bank’s growing demand. Meal box distribution has more than doubled in the past year, and provides the weather-protected space needed to keep volunteers and families safe. It also creates a flexible, welcoming area for education and resiliency programming.

How can I be a part of this project?

To help us make our dream a reality, you can send a check to the Statesboro Food Bank (506 Miller Street Extension, Statesboro, GA 30458) and include “Leadership Bulloch” in the memo.

What is Leadership Bulloch?

Leadership Bulloch is a competitive, nine-month flagship program of the Statesboro-Bulloch Chamber of Commerce that seeks to identify and develop future community leaders by exposing class participants to various aspects of the community, including economic development, public safety, healthcare, agriculture, and local and state government.

Every year, the Leadership Bulloch class develops a project that makes a positive impact on our community.
