The Atlanta Branch of the Georgia Food Bank Associationsoup ingredients next to a soup pot

While hunger in the Atlanta community and Georgia as a whole has been around for far longer than 30 years, it’s been tirelessly combated by the Georgia Food Bank Association for the last 30-plus years. The Atlanta branch of the association is known as the Atlanta Community Food Bank. So, no matter where you are in Georgia, either of the links above can help you find all you need to know about how to help the hungry here in our great state. And it’s important to remember, too, that even if money is tight for you and you can’t help out with donations of food, donations of time are always needed as well.

Check with Your Church

The Georgia Food Bank Association isn’t the only entity fighting hunger here in our communities. Many local churches also combat hunger in their communities with food banks and food drives. If you want to keep things close to home, make sure to check in with your local church to see what they need to help fight hunger.
