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-eight children in Georgia lives in a food insecure household — meaning they don’t know where their next meal will come from. Overall. one-in-nine Georgians struggles with hunger. These folks include children, seniors, and hardworking families. The Atlanta Community Food Bank is reporting record levels of visits to food pantries this year – up 40% from 2022.
