As you are reading this, most kids are enjoying all the fun that summertime brings. But what about the 741,916 Georgia children who count on free or reduced meals during the school year? For them, summertime can be daunting. With your help, we can distribute more food so that summer programs like the summer camp at Study Hall at Emmaus House (shown above) can provide a nurturing haven and nutritious meals for kids who otherwise might not have a place to turn. Please make a donation today, and help us ensure a safe, healthy and happy summer for more children.

Kroger brings hope to the table.
Our gratitude goes out to Kroger and their participating vendors for recognizing summer hunger each June and Bringing Hope to the Table. Each time customers purchased specially marked products during the campaign, a portion of the proceeds was set aside for 80 food banks across the country, including the Atlanta Community Food Bank. With your help and the help of our communities, we can one day ensure that no child goes hungry during these critical summer months.
