Give Monthly
Feed Families All Year
Giving monthly makes an enormous impact.
Regardless of the size of the monthly donation, the commitment to Urban Recipe allows us to plan and better utilize all of our resources. Your monthly contribution makes a huge difference to those fighting food insecurity in Atlanta.
Your financial contribution provides food security with dignity.
