Volunteers are the heart, soul and muscle of the Food Bank.  We could never make it happen without you. Last year, more than 15,000 volunteers gave 65,000 hours. It would take 31 full-time staff members to carry out this work! Click here to see the Honor Roll showcasing the top businesses, schools, civic organizations, religious groups and individuals who volunteer at the Food Bank.  

Want to volunteer at the Food Bank? Schedule a shift in the garden, at our Product Rescue Center or even at a special event.

Tops in Taste

Q. Where can you taste the latest from Atlanta’s best restaurants, catch Bravo TV’s “Top Chef” head judge Tom Colicchio in action and help end childhood hunger?

A: Share our Strength’s Taste of the Nation, benefitting the Food Bank and other local hunger relief organizations. Having rightfully gained its reputation as the premier epicurean event of the year, “Taste” is eagerly anticipated every spring.  Get the list of 50 top Atlanta restaurants participating in the 20th annual Taste of the Nation and purchase your tickets today as this event will sell out early! 

I Scream, You Scream

We all scream for ice cream! Bring the family to Bruster’s now through April 19, and make a $2.00 donation to the Peanut Butter Express.
