Georgia Mountain Food BankThrough a network of community partners, the Georgia Mountain Food Bank addresses hunger, health, and quality of life by serving those in need. The Georgia Mountain Food Bank, an affiliate of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, serves as a warehouse for surplus food and product donations to be distributed to the network of partner agencies in Hall, Dawson, Forsyth, Lumpkin and Union counties. Check out our story on YouTube.com! September is Hunger Action Month……….Please come and join us for our 4th Annual Empty Bowl Lunch Thursday, September 16, 2010, 11:00am – 2:00pm, at the First Baptist Church in Gainesville Tickets are sold in advance for $25. Each guest is served a simple meal and selects one of the beautiful handmade bowls to take home as a reminder of the many individuals and families who face food insecurity in our community. All proceeds benefit the Georgia Mountain Food Bank. The "Empty Bowl" idea began in 1990 as a Michigan high school art class project to raise funds for a food drive. The students made ceramic bowls, served a meal of soup and bread, and invited guests to keep the bowl as a reminder of hunger in the world. We need volunteers to help!!! If you have experience and would love to work on a project that is rewarding and benefits so many people in our community please contact Randi Dyer at 770-967-0075 or by email at randi@gamountainfoodbank.org. This is our largest annual fundraiser and we would love to see it grow!Community Partners
