Our fellow Georgians are in need. You can do something to help a family right now. Hunger continues to be a crisis in our communities
· 1 in 8 (13.1%) Georgians are estimated to be food insecure.
· 1 in 5 (18.4%) children in Georgia are estimated to be food insecure.
· Seniors, 1 in 12 (8.5%)
· In our 29-county service area, 1 in 9 Georgians and 1 in 6 children are food insecure
Among communities of color, food insecurity can be as much as 2 or 3 times higher than their white neighbors. In Georgia. During the holidays, food becomes a focal point for many family gatherings, which deepens the despair felt by many neighbors who are already struggling.
Every dollar donated can make a giant impact. Our processes and partners help us transform every dollar donated into up to three meals. A nutritious meal generated from your donation can transform a day. A dream. A life. A future. It can feed hope. Optimism. Passion. Purpose. It can be the difference between someone giving up and giving it everything.
