The River Stomps Out Hunger

Our community faces one of the highest levels of food insecurity in the nation—meaning that our neighbors often struggle to put food on the table, and that their access to nutritious food is limited by a lack of money and other resources. And the need continues to grow. One-in-seven children in metro Atlanta and north Georgia lives in food insecure households — meaning they don’t know where their next meal will come from. One-in-nine Georgians struggle with hunger. These folks include children, seniors, and hardworking families. Each year, an estimated 715,000 (or 1 in 8) people in metro Atlanta and north Georgia turn to Food Bank partner agencies for food. Clients visit agencies an average of 8 times a year.

The first 25 people to drop off a frozen turkey received two tickets to KURIOS - Cabinet of Curiosities, by Cirque du Soleil under The Big Top at Atlantic Station! The show is now playing through December 24th.
