Program areas at Atlanta Community Food Bank

Product collection, storage and distribution:the Atlanta Community Food Bank (the Food Bank) serves as the central distribution center for nearly 700 community-based, nonprofit partner agencies that provide Food assistance in 29 metro Atlanta and north Georgia counties. These agencies include Food pantries, shelters, Community kitchens and other organizations offering Food for people who struggle with hunger, including children, working families and seniors. In an effort to help its agencies increase their ability to provide more Food and reach more people, the Food Bank also co-hosts mobile Food pantries. In addition, the Food Bank operates several programs that fulfill its mission including education outreach, benefits screening and more.food distribution:in fy 2021/22, the Food Bank distributed over 92.9 million pounds of Food and groceries through its network of community-based, nonprofit partner agencies offering Food assistance programs. Combined with approved snap applications, this was enough Food for over 79.3 million meals.the Food Bank recognizes that hunger and malnutrition go hand in hand. Therefore, we emphasize the nutritional quality of the Food distributed. In fy 2021/22, we distributed over 21.1 million pounds of fresh produce to partner agencies. Fresh produce is now the Food Bank's largest category of Food distributed, making up 23% of total pounds distributed to our neighbors in need.the Food Bank's retail store donation program has also been instrumental to the increased volume of nutritious Food distributed to partner agencies. In fy 2021/22, the Food Bank recovered over 27.8 million pounds of Food from 577 retail grocery stores throughout its service territory. In many instances we connect our partner agencies directly with these retail stores, speeding up recovery while reducing transportation costs and minimizing Food handling. The number of stores participating in direct-to-partner agency delivery (enabled deliveries) was 510. We rely heavily on volunteers, including individuals or business, Community, and school groups to help achieve our high level of impact. In fy 2021/22, 16,000 volunteers gave approximately 37,400 hours of their time, the equivalent of 18 full-time staff members. Volunteers sorted and repacked Food and provided many other essential services. Mobile Food pantries also are an important part of our strategy to get more Food into the communities that we serve. In partnership with the Food Bank, agencies in 17 counties hosted a total of 951 mobile pantries in fy 2021/22 serving 136,000 households and distributing over 9.6 million pounds of Food.
