Many of you know that I am passionate about Second Helpings Atlanta, and as President of the Organization this year, I am eager to spread the word of what this incredible group of people do to assist those in need in our community.
As a nonprofit food rescue organization Second Helpings Atlanta's mission is to reduce hunger and food waste in the Metro Atlanta area. We address food insecurity and waste at once by rescuing healthy, surplus food from our food donors and delivering it to feeding programs across Atlanta through our Food Rescue Network.
We are currently distributing over one million pounds of surplus food (approximately 830,000 meals) to our partner agencies every 7 months.
Before COVID-19, 1 in 9 people in Atlanta were food insecure, now Feeding America estimates that 1 in 6 people in Atlanta experience food insecurity. The pandemic has caused an enormous rise in food insecurity and SHA's services are needed now more than ever — SHA partner agencies have seen as much as a 123% increase in requests for services since March.
SHA is actively answering the call of the escalating need! Our devoted community is rescuing on average 100,000 pounds of surplus food ever 22 days as well as delivering thousands of prepared meals weekly.
Please join me in supporting this important cause and help to make a difference to countless families this holiday season.
Donate today! With your generous donation we can continue to deliver fresh food to meet the needs of thousands of people in our community, for as long as necessary. Together, we will Drive Out Hunger, One Mile at a Time.
