About Feeding Georgia
Feeding Georgia is Georgia's statewide hunger relief network, uniting eight Feeding America food banks to fight food insecurity from Atlanta to the coast. Founded as the Georgia Food Bank Association in 1998, with roots going back to 1985, and rebranded in 2022, our organization collaborates on strategic initiatives, advocates for state and federal food policy, and coordinates resources so local food banks can operate at maximum impact. Today, our member food banks partner with more than 2,000 food pantries to reach 156,500 Georgians in need every single week.
