It's hard to imagine that we used to operate out of a single household sized refrigerator and a shelf in a church basement.

Today, we distribute over 45,000lbs of food every month through our Food Co-ops and Mobile Pantry. Our staff is on the forklift and even volunteers use pallet jacks to move such large quantities of food! Truly, 35 years can make a world of difference. To help us continue to serve families in Atlanta, make a donation today at urbanrecipe.org/donate
