Atlanta Food Bank

Come out and volunteer at the Atlanta Food Bank/Hunger Action Center! The Hunger Action Center provides a great hands-on experience in a diverse and social atmosphere. GSU volunteers will come together to inspect, sort, and pack quality grocery donations to prepare for distribution to nearly 700 partner agencies across Georgia!  

This service project is a part of an exciting line-up of ETHICS WEEK activities!

To participate, you must register on PIN. The Atlanta Food Bank requires a list of participants one week in advance.

Date:  Friday, November 7th, 2025

Time: 1-5pm

Meet Up Location: We will meet in the Student Center East lobby area, near the main elevators at 1pm. Free van transportation is provided- we will leave promptly at 1:05 to go to the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Hunger Action Center. Please arrive on time to ensure your spot on the van. Transportation will leave the Atlanta Food Bank at 4:30pm, returning to GSU.   

Dress Code: Closed-toe and closed-heel shoes are required, with sneakers or work boots recommended. Flip flops, Crocs, sandals, or heeled shoes are not allowed. Please wear comfortable clothing which you do not mind getting a bit rumpled. Some volunteers will be sorting refrigerated product. Please wear long pants and bring a sweatshirt or light jacket with you.  

Consider bringing a food donation: With 1 in every 9 Georgians at risk of hunger, the number of people requesting emergency food assistance continues to grow. If every volunteer visiting our Hunger Action Center brings just two cans of food, we could provide about 2,750 additional meals each month!
