BACKGROUND HISTORY

 

Feeding GA Families (FGF) is a 501(c)3 state licensed non-profit food pantry and community services agency aimed at combating food insecurity in our communities with the assistance of farmers, food banks, grocery stores, small businesses, corporate donors and sponsorships, and volunteers. 

​

Founded in 2010, FGF has expanded from feeding the homeless in Atlanta to providing cooked community meals, to hosting two weekly food pantries to those in need. FGF is a resource that the food insecure can utilize during their time(s) of need. 

 

Our services are provided with no questions asked, as our purpose is to aid those in need, when they are in need, without restrictions to residency, prior income, or family size.

​

MISSION STATEMENT

Provide free grocery and basic resource assistance to Georgia (and nationwide) households, in order to reduce food and resource insecurity through an organization of food pantries, feeding programs, food waste reduction and redistribution plans, health and welfare initiatives, and community focused events.
