We began feeding people on the streets of Atlanta in 2010 and our services have grown as we encountered the need. We feed people when they need it, no questions asked. No one should go hungry and we know circumstances can often change quickly. Our services reach people experiencing homelessness, households, children, the elderly, and people who are sick. We provide a weekly food pantry, serve community meals, have groceries delivered to people who cannot leave their homes, while providing dietary options to those who have food restrictions. COVID has only increased the need and we have found innovative ways to provide more, safely. It’s simple: every dollar you give helps us feed more people. Thank you for your support!
We provide free grocery assistance to people in Georgia, in order to reduce food insecurity through an organization of food pantries, feeding programs, food waste reduction and redistribution plans, health and welfare initiatives, and community-focused events. FGF is a resource that the food insecure can utilize during their time(s) of need. Our services are provided with no questions asked, our purpose is to aid those in need, when they are in need, without restrictions based on residency, prior income, or family size.
We're trying to solve/improve three aspects of food assistance for people in need:
We serve everyone in need regardless of residency or income.
We can measure our success using a multitude of metrics, shown here.
We come from a long line of people feeding people...my grandmother used to feed people. She was from a small island where they would feed people on the weekends. They would cook, and then they would feed the kids and take them to the beach. When she passed away, we wanted to do something in her honor. In 2010, we started cooking for and feeding the homeless. This led us to starting our own food pantry in Atlanta, and it grew from there. - Alicia Rivera, CFO

We selected and recommend Feeding GA Families as a Cause of the Week because of an impressive combination of virtues:
Would you give $4 a month to support four nonprofits that are making a big difference? Join forces with other 52andChangmakers to automatically give to every Cause of the Week. Every Monday, you’ll wake up knowing you’ve already made a difference! As our community grows, so does the impact!
Together we’ve become volunteers in places we would have never expected, planted milkweed for butterflies, provided books to kids in need, helped save endangered turtles, helped turn excess food into nutrition, helped bring art to youth, educated one another about how we are connected to our delicate food systems, helped save abandoned horses and given old dogs new hope, watched foster youth shine in the spotlight of movie making, helped clean tires out of rivers… we could go on and on and on. It is an absolute joy to be a part of such an amazing network of humans making a difference.
