At the Atlanta Community Food Bank, our food donors form the backbone of our organization. With the help of the food and hospitality industries, businesses, and individual food drives, we recover excess food to distribute to nonprofit partner agencies with feeding programs. Here's how you can make a difference.

Are You in the Food Industry?

If you're in the food industry, strongly consider donating your overstocked or short-dated food. If you are a broker, manufacturer, distributor, grocer, retailer, produce market, food show, food hauling firm, or reclamation center, please contact our our Product Sourcing Manager Anna Harris at anna.harris@acfb.org, 404.892.3333 ext. 1321, or Product Procurement Manager Sarah Robertson at sarah.robertson@acfb.org, 404.892.3333 ext. 1233.

Giving food is so easy we've ingrained it within our organizational structure. It just makes sense." -- Food Broker

Are You in the Hospitality Industry?

Through the Atlanta's Table project, we recover excess prepared foods from caterers, hotels, and restaurants. One of the first programs of its kind in the nation, Atlanta's Table now has more than 200 donors. To learn more, go to Donating Made Simple. You may also contact Daniel Hernandez at daniel.hernandez@acfb.org or (404) 892-3333 ext. 1234. 

Food donors are protected from liability through the federal and state Good Samaritan food law - read about it here.

The process is simple. You can come by the Food Bank any day, M-F, during our business hours 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Tell the receptionist you are here to make a "walk-in" donation and a staff member will be assigned to assist you to unload your vehicle and prepare a donation receipt for your records.
