Invite Hope to the Table this Holiday Season

Help kids THRIVE this summer!

Each year when school is out, many families in North Georgia lose access to the free or reduced-price school meals they (and their families) count on.

Food costs are high already, and when a lifeline program ends for the summer, it’s hard to make already-tight budgets stretch even further.

Will you help families who are already struggling put food on the table? With your gift today, you can help Georgia Mountain Food Bank provide families and kids across North Georgia with the healthy food they need all summer long.

You’ll send our Mobile Food Pantry into the neighborhoods where families need it most, delivering fresh fruits and veggies that can be made into delicious, nutritious meals.

Let’s make this a healthy summer, not a hungry one, for kids in North Georgia.  Your kindness and generosity are making a BIG difference to help feed our neighbors in need!

Who We Serve

Nearly 65,000 neighbors in our community struggle with food insecurity.  This year we hope to distribute more than 9 million meals across our 5-county service area of Hall, Forsyth, Dawson, Lumpkin and Union.
