The St. Vincent de Paul Georgia Food Recovery & Distribution Program is essential for stocking our client-choice food pantries.
Through partnerships with Kroger, Aldi, Sam's Club, and others, our Food Recovery & Distribution Program recovers food from grocery retail partner locations, including fresh produce, meat, baked goods and non-perishables.
This recovered food stocks our 40 client-choice food pantries across the state.
Each month, the Food Recovery & Distribution Program recovers over 25 tons of food, preventing $2 million of food waste per year.
SVdP Georgia operates a large warehouse at our main service center in Chamblee complete with industrial walk-in refrigerators and freezers, storage and sorting areas, and maintains a fleet of trucks and experienced drivers on staff for program operation.
