In Centre, the Family Care Center on W Main Street is Cherokee County's food bank — open Tuesday through Friday with an attached thrift store that helps fund the mission. Community postings also note Monday public distribution windows, making it worth a call to line up the right day.
The Family Care Center
The center operates Tuesday–Friday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., on W Main Street in Centre — call (256) 490-9524. Its listings show pantry distribution offered on a recurring (roughly bi-weekly) basis for Cherokee County households, and community posts have advertised additional Monday distribution hours — so phone first to confirm this week's pantry day versus thrift-store-only hours.
The attached thrift store (same Tuesday–Friday hours) funds the food bank — shopping or donating there directly supports the pantry.
Cherokee County Coverage
As a rural county on the Georgia line, Cherokee County leans on the Family Care Center plus church distributions around Centre and Cedar Bluff — Alabama's 211 Connects line tracks each one's current schedule, and Gadsden's larger pantries sit about 30 minutes west when more options are needed.
