The Atlanta Community Food Bank is responsible for supplying food to nearly 700 locations across the city and is one of the largest food bank providers in the city. In late February, the USDA cancelled the LFPA25 grants, robbing ACFB of $15 million over the next two years. The LFPA25 grants represented nearly 10% of the ACFB budget. They anticipate further budgetary cutbacks as well as an increase in demand given the impending reductions in SNAP and other federal aid programs. 

Recent budget cuts and rising hunger needs across the city have placed higher pressure on ACFB operations, and they need all the help they can get! Donate and sign up to volunteer below!
