Georgia Mountain Food BankOur Mission: Through a network of community partners, the Georgia Mountain Food Bank addresses hunger, health, and quality of life by serving those in need. Who we serve: Feeding sites (food pantries, shelters, group homes, resource centers) in 5 counties of North Georgia. We are providing food to 34 front-line groups. Many of these groups are operated by volunteer staff and with limited resources. By providing food shipments locally, delivery services, training classes, connection to resources and technical assistance, the Georgia Mountain Food Bank helps these groups accomplish their mission by operating more effectively and efficiently. How we help: The Georgia Mountain Food Bank helps to increase the flow of food into rural parts of north Georgia, CONNECTING more food to people in need. We accomplish this through community partnerships. Volunteers and advocates are the backbone of the food bank and critical to our mission. Whether giving of time or financial resources, the friends of the food bank help us reach people in need. Primarily, the food we distribute comes through our partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank. We also distribute food donated locally from retailers, manufacturers, distributors and food drives. Last year, the Georgia Mountain Food Bank more than doubled the amount of food distributed over the previous year. Another important community partnership is our lead supporter, Hollis Transport & Logistics in Flowery Branch. Hollis Transport provides the hub of operations for the Georgia Mountain Food Bank, providing office, warehouse space, use of equipment, transportation and hundreds of volunteer hours each year.
