Your Amazing Impact
One in 5 Georgians struggles to put food on the table. But thanks to your help, we are tackling hunger with greater determination and creativity than ever. We recently released Feeding a Healthy Future, our 2013-2014 Annual Report. It features powerful snapshots of the difference our programs make for individuals, families and entire neighborhoods. See the impact we’ve made together and please consider making a monthly gift to sustain our vital work in the year ahead.
