Calvin Court

Calvin Court is a Presbyterian Home for senior citizens located on East Paces Ferry Road here in Atlanta. Presbyterian Homes throughout Georgia offer caring communities for seniors.

Morningside’s participation:

Each May on Mothers' Day we kick off our canned food collection to restock the emergency food pantry at Calvin Court. This supply of staple items is an important resource for seniors who find they are running out of money at the end of the month.

How you can get involved:

We need people to donate recommended items through the end of May:

Applesauce (Snack sized containers are great.)
Canned asparagus, cream corn, potatoes, spinach, black-eye peas
Canned ham
Canned chicken
Packs of crackers, chips, popcorn, saltines, nuts
Cereal or granola bars
Small bottles of water
Small canned drinks such as ginger ale or Gatorade (we use these a lot when residents get sick)
Cereal
Oatmeal (plain and flavored)
Toilet tissue
Facial tissue
Toiletries such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, razors, lotion, shampoo
Paper towels
Dish soap (we do not have dishwashers)
Sponges

The following items are NOT needed at this time: macaroni and cheese boxes, green beans, regular corn, English peas, cans of tuna or Vienna sausage, pudding
