🍎 Atlanta Food Resources & Community Support Guide
Hey ATL — y’all really showed up.
After I shared this post about neighbors losing access to food benefits, my DMs filled up with local resources, food pantries, community fridges, & organizations helping keep our city fed.
This list is for anyone who needs it… or anyone looking to give back. Whether you’re donating, volunteering, or spreading the word, here are some incredible people doing real work in Atlanta.
Notes: 1 in 5 children in Georgia face hunger.
P.S. I’ll keep updating this post as new resources come in. So feel free to DM me @nerdy.retreat or email Jesi.NerdyRetreat@gmail.com if you have one to add.
