I don't know too much about food pantries, but does all this money go towards food or does it go towards giving shelter/providing clothes, blankets, jackets etc?
It's a lot of money coming in and it might go higher since it's becoming national news. So I was wondering if it goes towards other things also

If it's anything like Goodwill, it all goes to the CEOs (Not Coach Ed Orgeron). It's NOT like GW by the way.

But I just perused their facebook page, it kind of seems like just food. Maybe there are other organizations around Athens (and Baton Rouge) that you can donate to that provide clothing.

According to their IRS Form 990 linked below, they brought in roughly $100k in donations last year and had $70k in expenses.

Of the $70k in expenses. $60k went to food purchases and the remaining $10k to rent/insurance.

No salaries or unnecessary overhead.
