The Atlanta Community Food Bank has a “Find Help Map” that can be used to locate food assistance in metro Atlanta or north Georgia. If you or someone you know needs immediate food assistance elsewhere in Georgia, please visit feedinggeorgia.org to find resources in your community.
To support the Atlanta Community Food Bank’s incredible efforts to provide meals to Georgia families ahead of the holidays, DHS has made a $2.8 million cash donation. DHS is grateful to all of Georgia’s food banks for the important work they do, and encourages all who are able to support them or local charities in their communities by contributing food or a donation this time of year.
