In addition to our core business of food distribution, the Food Bank has a number of projects that help build community including:

• The Atlanta Prosperity Campaign
  

  An initiative of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, The Atlanta Prosperity Campaign seeks to broaden wealth and reduce economic inequalities for working families in Metro-Atlanta. It accomplishes this by connecting low- to moderate-income working families to existing economic benefits available to them, including the two federal benefits that can help the most in lifting a family out of poverty.

• Atlanta's Table
  

  Since 1987, Atlanta's Table has been collecting prepared perishable food from our local hospitality industry and delivering this food to more than 40 Metro Atlanta nonprofit partner agencies daily. This groundbreaking program was one of the first projects of its kind, and its success has promoted similar development in cities nationwide.



• Community Gardens
  

  With over 175 gardens in the Atlanta area, Community Gardens bring neighbors together and empowers people to supplement their food supply by growing it themselves.



• Hunger 101
  

  Through workshops, online curricula and other creative tools designed for a variety of age groups, Hunger 101 strives to increase awareness about hunger and poverty on the local, state and national levels. Hunger 101 plays an integral role in furthering the Atlanta Community Food Bank's mission: to fight hunger by engaging, educating and empowering our community.



• Hunger Walk/Run
  

  For over 20 years, the Hunger Walk/Run has united Atlantans of all ages and athletic backgrounds to support hunger and poverty relief. More than 6,000 participants come together each March to raise more than $200,000.



• Kids In Need
  

  There's no limit to what a child can learn when equipped with the right school supplies and a full stomach. In the fall of 2000, the Atlanta Community Food Bank developed the Kids In Need program, a year-round free store for educators. The Kids In Need mission is to provide learning supplies for students whose academic success is threatened by poverty. Achievement should never be impeded by financial status.



• Product Rescue Center
  

  Constantly buzzing with activity, the Product Rescue Center (PRC) is the area of the Food Bank where all food drive and salvaged food items are brought to be inspected and packaged by volunteers for distribution to more than 800 nonprofit partner agencies.
