Atlanta Community Food Bank www.acfb.org Atlanta Community Food Bank is a nonprofit working to end hunger across metro Atlanta and north Georgia. There are too many children, seniors and working families experiencing hunger. We work with more than 700 community partners to provide food to over 600,000 neighbors each year. It takes lots of food, people, and big ideas to guarantee that our neighbors have the nutritious food they need for a healthy life. Our goal is that by 2025 everyone in the Food Bank's 29-county service area will have access to the nutritious meals they need when they need them. The Hunger Walk Run is an integral fundraising, community building, and awareness initiative of the Food Bank. We thank you for taking the next step in helping us end hunger! |

Hunger relief efforts include programs housed in member churches (food pantries and programs providing hot meals), programs/partnerships outside the church, and new programs that are “outside the box.” A growing number of our churches are involved in bag lunch programs - in partnership with neighborhood schools.
