REISDSVILLE, GA (WTOC) - People in Tattnall County lined up outside of Springfield Missionary Baptist Church as Second Harvest Food Bank handed out bags of food.

Church volunteers packed the sacks full of meat, fruit, vegatables and more. They gave out a week's worth of food and had enough for 500 families.

Workers say hunger is a year long problem whether people realize it or not.

"Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to do food drives, but there's a need all year long. People are hungry Christmas, Thanksgiving and in January," said Martin Sullivan with Second Harvest Food Bank.

Second Harvest teamed up with the church and United Way of the Southeast Georgia for Tuesday's giveaway.
