Shopping Schedule

All shopping is now done through our online eHarvest ordering system. Agencies use this system to browse available inventory, select items of use and set an appointment time for pickup of their selections. The eHarvest system may be accessed through the menu above, or by clicking here.

If you need some help with the eHarvest system, a quick start guide is available. Click here to obtain a copy of the quick start guide to eHarvest. (PDF format, requires the Acrobat reader. Click here to obtain a copy of the Acrobat reader free from Adobe.)

Appointments may be scheduled weekdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. except Tuesday afternoons, when the shopping floor is closed.

Open Hand

SNAP - The State Nutrition Assistance Program is a public-private partnership with Georgia's Department of Human Resources. Food purchased for SNAP is available to any partner agency, which provides meals and/or groceries to low-income families with minor children. SNAP funding permits the Food Bank to purchase nutritious, high demand foods at below wholesale prices. Click here for SNAP requirements (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader. Download the free software here.).

USDA - The Food Bank participates in one of the USDA's commodities programs, TEFAP. Primarily these foods are shelf-stable essentials and can enhance the nutritional complement of foods available to partner agencies. Qualifying families must have an annual income no higher than 130% of the federal poverty line. Click here for more information on the USDA program.

TACK - The Atlanta Collaborative Kitchen program trains people in the culinary arts, giving them long-term employment skills. Trainees prepare food that would have gone unused into high-quality frozen meals for distribution by the Food Bank.

Earned Income Tax Credit - The Earned Income Tax Credit is a federal tax benefit available to working people with families who earn low or moderate incomes. For more information on who is eligible and how to apply, click here to go to the appropriate Internal Revenue Service publication.
