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.

A message from Kyle Waide, President & CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

The Atlanta Community Food Bank and @fulcosolicitorgeneral celebrate the donation of the one millionth meal through Operation Feed Fulton. This program allows eligible residents to resolve a minor traffic citation with a donation to the Food Bank in place of a court appearance. “Operation Feed Fulton shows what happens when government and the community tackle two issues at once,” said Kyle Waide, President and CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. “Solicitor-General Gammage and his team made the justice system work better for Fulton County residents while putting more than a million meals within reach of neighbors facing hunger. We are grateful for a partnership that turns a simple choice into real nourishment for our community.” Click the link in our bio to read the full press release.

Kelechi first volunteered at the Community Food Center - Stone Mountain through his employer. After his initial shift, he decided to sign up again — this time bringing his children along. "I went to the Hunger Action Center first, and then I signed my family up to come to the Community Food Center - Stone Mountain," Kelechi said. "I grew up in Stone Mountain, so it's great to be able to give back to my community, and we look forward to making this a consistent thing.” Kelechi’s commitment to giving back is something he’s passing on to his children. "I tell my girls all the time that it's better to give than receive. It really is a humbling feeling just being able to come out and help your community." Kelechi exemplifies how individual volunteers can make a meaningful impact in addressing local food insecurity. “We try to give back as much as we can. I especially enjoy bagging up food.” Without our volunteers, our mission to end hunger would be impossible. Visit acfb.org/volunteer to make a difference today.

For Anthony, the Community Food Center - Marietta is more than just a source of groceries—it's a lifeline and a place of compassion. "I live on a fixed income and have bills to pay. I can’t buy many groceries, and you can’t buy meat with that money," said Anthony. Anthony has faced numerous challenges since becoming disabled in 2005 due to recurring heart attacks. Living on a fixed income, he supports a household that includes his elderly parents, a disabled sister, and his two young grandchildren, whom he helps raise. Once a skilled worker in the building industry, Anthony now relies on the Community Food Center - Marietta to make ends meet. "This place helps everyone so much. They're providing for my family." Your support helps to ease financial burdens for neighbors just like Anthony. Visit the 🔗 in our bio to make an impact today.
