Open Hand seeks to eliminate disability and untimely death due to nutrition-sensitive chronic disease.
Open Hand serves our community by empowering people to live healthier, more productive lives.
We started as friends caring for friends, and that’s who we still are today. We began in 1988, when a small group of friends gathered to cook meals for their neighbors and loved ones disenfranchised by HIV/AIDS. Since then, guided by a mission of compassion and service, Open Hand has expanded to meet the needs in the community to provide health-promoting food directly to the homes of people who need it.
In Atlanta and throughout Georgia, no other organization is better prepared than Open Hand to answer the growing call for nutrition-based health solutions. As the national spotlight turns to the critical link between food and wellness, we are proud to be driving this transformative movement forward.
We put our mission first. We are passionate about building a healthier community. Through people-centered services and partnerships, we create access to healthy meals and nutrition education, empowering our clients and the community to achieve personal goals for health and wellness.
We honor our staff & volunteers as our most valuable resource. Our people-first culture is part of our DNA. Investing in our employees & volunteers ensures that our clients & customers will receive the very best care.
