We could not verify a 'Rehoboth Baptist Church' operating at 6315 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs 30328. That address is actually the home of Solidarity Sandy Springs, a neighborhood food pantry, not a Baptist church. The Rehoboth Baptist Church that runs a food pantry in metro Atlanta is located at 2997 Lawrenceville Hwy, Tucker (1st & 3rd Wednesdays, 1-3pm), not in Sandy Springs, so this record appears to mix up the wrong name and the wrong address.

We could not verify any organization called "New Emmanuel Community Foundation" operating at 6315 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs. That address is occupied by a different, well-documented food pantry (Solidarity Sandy Springs), and no web records, nonprofit registries, or news coverage match this org's name. This listing appears to be inaccurate or out of date and should be confirmed before it is published.
