At the Atlanta Community Food Bank, our food donors form the backbone of our organization. With the help of the food and hospitality industries, businesses, worship centers, and individuals, we recover excess food to distribute to nonprofit partner agencies with feeding programs. Here's how you can make a difference.

"Giving food is so easy we've ingrained it within our organizational structure. It just makes sense." -- Food broker

Hospitality Industry

Through the Atlanta's Table project, we recover excess prepared foods from caterers, hotels, and restaurants. One of the first programs of its kind in the nation, Atlanta's Table now has more than 200 donors. To learn more, go to Donating Made Simple. You can also review the federal and state Good Samaritan food law, which protects food donors from liability.

Food Industry

If you're in the food industry, strongly consider donating your overstocked or short-dated food. If you are a broker, manufacturer, distributor, grocer, retailer, produce market, food show, food hauling firm, or reclamation center, please contact our Product Procurement Manager Sarah Robertson at sarah.robertson@acfb.org, or call 404.892.3333 ext. 1233.
