In addition to our core business of food distribution, the Food Bank has a number of projects that help build community including:
Atlanta's Table
Since 1987, Atlanta's Table has been collecting prepared perishable food from
our local hospitality industry and delivering this food to more than 40 Metro Atlanta
nonprofit partner agencies daily. This groundbreaking program was one of
the first projects of its kind, and its success has promoted similar development in
cities nationwide.
Community Gardens
With over 175 gardens in the Atlanta area, Community Gardens
bring neighbors together and empowers people to supplement their food supply by
growing it themselves.
Hunger 101
Through workshops, online curricula and other creative tools designed for a variety
of age groups, Hunger 101 strives to increase awareness about hunger and poverty
on the local, state and national levels. Hunger 101 plays an integral role in furthering the Atlanta Community Food Bank's mission: to fight hunger by engaging, educating and empowering our community.
Hunger Walk/Run
For over 20 years, the Hunger Walk/Run has united Atlantans of all ages and athletic
backgrounds to support hunger and poverty relief. More than 6,000 participants come together each March to raise more than $200,000.
Kids In Need
There's no limit to what a child can learn when equipped with the right school
supplies and a full stomach. In the fall of 2000, the Atlanta Community Food Bank developed the Kids In Need program, a year-round free store for educators.
The Kids In Need mission is to provide learning supplies for students whose
academic success is threatened by poverty. Achievement should never be impeded
by financial status.

The Atlanta Collaborative Kitchen (TACK)
A joint effort of the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Project Open Hand/Atlanta, The Atlanta Collaborative Kitchen (TACK) trains individuals for gainful employment in the food service industry.
