God of freedom and justice, you break every chain and call us to true liberation. We hold before you the victims of human trafficking. We lament the significant human trafficking increase and insufficient protection revealed by the recently released Trafficking in Persons report. We grieve the evil that robs your children of dignity and freedom, and we cry out for your deliverance. Turn our sorrow into action: to rescue the oppressed, to shelter survivors, and to work toward justice. Grant wisdom, boldness, and compassion to advocates and all who labor for freedom. Through Jesus Christ, our redeemer, who sets the captives free and lives to make all things new. AMEN

Using a refrigerated truck funded in part by a $30,000 grant from the Episcopal Community Foundation for Middle and North Georgia, the pantry now runs drive-thru mobile distributions in surrounding areas, bringing food to neighborhoods where public transit or grocery stores are sparse.

When the pantry accepted the 2017 grant, it made a ten-year commitment to provide resources, education, and information to the Allatoona community in south Bartow County (32% living below poverty level). To do that, Red Door partnered with BLESS (a faith-based volunteer organization in Cartersville) and the Allatoona Resource Center (an organization managed by Bartow County government).

Heavenly Father, we remember before you those who suffer want and anxiety from lack of work. Guide the people of this land so to use our public and private wealth that all may find suitable and fulfilling employment, and receive just payment for their labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN
