Leading the Fight
Against Hunger

Everyone should have enough to eat, but there are many among us who don't. From children and the elderly to the working poor, hundreds of thousands of families and individuals in the Atlanta region are suffering from food insecurity and hunger. Learn more about how the Food Bank works to fight hunger.

Hunger Facts

Hunger in America 2010

Feeding America has released the results of Hunger in America 2010, a landmark study revealing a tremendous spike in requests for emergency food assistance - 46% nationally and 39% in ACFB's 38 county service area. Given what we already know about the economy, and what we've seen happening with our friends and neighbors, it isn't surprising that more people have needed food assistance. This was the experience for Shonda, a college-educated Atlanta teacher, and her family. We hope you will read Shonda's story, and then take a moment to view the Hunger in America study.
