Last year, we blew away our $1,000 goal and raised an impressive $1,505.92 for the Atlanta Community Food Bank! This year, we know THE FORCE is with us to raise even more and reach our $1,750 goal!
On the day of the parade, we will collect donations of cash, check or credit card but go ahead and use some Jedi mind tricks to make your donation here online today!
Because of the Food Bank's ability to procure donated food and its efficient distribution model, a gift made here provides more food than through a traditional food drive -- doubling or even tripling the amount of food your dollar can provide at the grocery store. Every dollar counts so donate any amount that you can!
Here are some quick facts to know that your donation is making a difference for our local neighbors:
- More than 1 in every 4 Georgia kids live in food insecure household.
- Each year, an estimated 755,400 (or 1 in 7) 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.
- 95 cents of every dollar donated to ACFB (including the value of all donated food) goes directly to services in the community to help fight hunger.
Thank you and may THE FORCE be with you!
