Ways to Give
Food insecurity remains an ongoing challenge in metro Atlanta, and we are stepping up to answer the call. 1 in 9 people in our service area isn’t sure where their next meal is coming from. Each week, Second Helpings Atlanta rescues enough surplus food to deliver an average of 73,000 meals to individuals and families in need. Join us in our mission as we “Drive Out Hunger One Mile at a Time”.
