Atlanta Community Food Bank

We work with nearly 700 community-based partners, including food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, shelters, and senior centers, to distribute an average of 10.3 million pounds of food each month, or approximately 9 million+ meals to our neighbors who are food insecure in 29 counties across metro Atlanta and north Georgia. In February 2023, with the support of a caring community of partners, advocates, donors, and volunteers, we distributed our 1 billionth meal into the community.

We are the fourth largest food bank in the country, by distribution volume, and are a member of Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity.

We partner with food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters, and senior centers that receive food and goods from us. In turn, these partners provide food and other critical resources for the more than 715,000 people in our service area who suffer from hunger and food insecurity.

Food is just part of the picture. Our mission is to fight hunger by engaging, educating, and empowering our community. While our core work is food distribution, our efforts extend far beyond that. Our mission is lived out every day by engaging, educating, and empowering both people in need and those who want to help. From volunteering your time to assisting people in achieving economic security, the Food Bank covers a wide range of opportunities for people to learn and get involved.
