Community Food Distribution Drive-Thru
Special thanks to Atrium Health Navicent and the Society of St. Andrew for allowing Humanitarian Gang Inc. to join their fight against food insecurity at today's food distribution event. Our Vice President and Intern helped distribute 40,000 pounds of fresh fruit, produce, and pantry staples at the Eisenhower Parkway primary care center.
Atrium says this is part of their effort to improve health outcomes in Central Georgia by focusing on healthy food. “Small, healthy changes on a family level can make a big difference to the overall health of our community.”
The Society of St. Andrew unites people to harvest and share healthy food, reduce food waste, and build caring communities by nourishing hungry neighbors.
Through April 2024:
- SoSA has gleaned, gathered, and distributed 4,207,890 pounds of fresh produce across 932 events with 4,436 volunteers.
- Food from 208 farmers has been distributed to hungry people through 593 feeding agencies.
- This equals 16,831,560 servings of fresh food shared.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has already wasted 62,031,117,557 pounds of food this year, and counting.
