We love this time of year....prepping for Passover and all the family time and delicious food that comes with it. With this in mind, and being so thankful for our friends, family, and circumstances...we can't help but recognize that nothing is guaranteed in this life, and not everyone is even fortunate enough to know where their next meal is coming from.
We believe that charity begins at home, and we can make the greatest impact by starting in our immediate area. With that in mind, our focus this year is to help support the amazing work of the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
It's a super reflective time, and we want to make sure to do our part to give back ... so we would like to announce the first annual L.O.Y.L. Hunger Drive!
Every purchase of the L.O.Y.L. Hunger Drive Flowy Tank will bring us closer to our $1,000 goal! We will be donating 50% of all proceeds to the Atlanta Community Food Bank!
Each $1 they receive provides over $9 worth of groceries for someone in need!
Check out some basic info about what the Atlanta Community Food Bank does:
What We Do
Founded in 1979, ACFB procures over 45 million pounds of food and groceries each year and distributes it to more than 600 nonprofit partner agencies serving families and individuals in 29 metro Atlanta and north Georgia counties.
Who We Serve
Food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters, and senior centers are among the agencies that receive product from ACFB. In turn, these partner agencies provide food and other critical resources for low-income Georgians who suffer from hunger and food insecurity.
How it Works
ACFB utilizes more than 1,000 volunteers a month, over 100 staff members, a large fleet of trucks and a 129,000 square-foot facility to procure and distribute food and grocery items received from hundreds of donors. Our donors include manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, brokers, restaurants, food drives, gardens and individuals. The product is easily accessed by our partner agencies. They place their orders online and arrange for pick up or delivery. Once the food arrives at the agency, it is provided to families and individuals in need. See our product flow infographic.It Starts With Food, but it Doesn’t Stop There.
The mission of the Atlanta Community Food Bank 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 through seven projects that help engage, educate and empower both people in need and those who want to help. From supporting community gardens to assisting people in finding economic security, ACFB covers a wide range of opportunities for people to learn and get involved. Our seven projects are Atlanta Prosperity Campaign, Atlanta’s Table, Community Gardens, Hunger 101, Hunger Walk/Run, Kids In Need and Product Rescue Center.Learn more about ACFB’s seven community projects.
