Mobile PAntries Expand Access
Our hope is the Mobile Pantry provides temporary assistance to families and helps them transition to more full support in a food co-op.
We partner with community organizations across Metro Atlanta to distribute food through the Mobile Pantry. These distributions offer families facing tough times or needing temporary assistance the essential support they need.
Food
Our partners identify needs in their communities for immediate food support. They set up food distribution times for families, serving either recurring families on a list, or on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Packing
Our volunteers prepare the boxes! We mobilize almost 2,000 volunteers annually to pack boxes of groceries for Mobile Pantry.
Distribution
Together, we distribute the boxes to the community. Partners receive their boxes and facilitate equitable distribution of the food to families in need. Together, we fight for food security and promote dignity for all.
