The Atlanta Community Food Bank Pledge Partnership
On October 16, 2018, for any donation made to WABE in any amount, one pound of food will be donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Make your pledge of support today.
Since our partnership with the Food Bank began in 2010, WABE listeners have helped donate 93,953 pounds of food.
The Atlanta Community Food Bank works to end hunger by providing food, people and ideas needed to ensure our neighbors have what they need to lead healthy and productive lives. Far too many people in our own community experience hunger every day, including children, seniors and working families.
- Nearly one in six people struggle to put enough food on the table
- More than one in every four Georgia kids struggle with hunger
- Working families make up a significant portion of the need in our community. Fifty-nine percent of client households report at least one employed person at some point in the past year
- Last year the Atlanta Community Food Bank distributed more than 59 million meals (food and grocery products) to its partner agency network.
The Atlanta Community Food Bank is a member of Feeding America, the national network of more than 200 food banks.
Through more than 600 nonprofit partners, the Food Bank helps more than 755,000 people get healthy food every year. The Food Bank’s goal is that, by 2025, all hungry people across metro Atlanta and North Georgia will have access to the meals they need when they need them. Learn more at ACFB.org.
