Atlanta Food Bank Launches Hunger Action Month Amid Record Food Insecurity

Atlanta Community Food Bank launches Hunger Action Month with donation matching, orange solidarity events, and volunteer opportunities to combat record food insecurity affecting 1 in 7 Georgians.

This news matters because food insecurity affects millions of Americans daily, with recent federal program cuts exacerbating the crisis. Hunger impacts children's development, seniors' health, and family stability, creating ripple effects throughout communities. When 1 in 5 Georgia children face food insecurity, it affects educational outcomes, healthcare costs, and economic productivity. Community response during Hunger Action Month can provide immediate relief while building sustainable solutions to ensure vulnerable neighbors have consistent access to nutritious food, ultimately strengthening the entire social fabric.
