Join the Food Bank on Sunday, March 12 to fight hunger in the community

ATLANTA, Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Thousands will gather in unity at The Home Depot Backyard at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the Atlanta Community Food Bank's 39^th annual Hunger Walk/Run Sunday March 12, 2023. As Atlanta faces the highest income inequality in the nation, and with many neighbors experiencing food insecurity for the first time in their lives, the Food Bank has become an increasingly indispensable resource to the community. By participating in Hunger Walk/Run, participants will provide added relief for a fellow Georgian in need through their donation.

"In 39 years, our annual Hunger Walk/Run has raised over $12 million for hunger relief to make a difference for our neighbors in need," said Kyle Waide, president and CEO of Atlanta Community Food Bank. "We work through a network of nearly 700 community-based nonprofit partners to get food into the communities where it is needed. Demand for food assistance is rising again with over 200,000 families visiting our network each month. Among those families visiting a food pantry, we've seen an increase of 27% in the number of households reporting children in the family. To help feed those families, we are distributing an average 8 MM pounds of food every month."

The family-friendly event kicks off at 12 noon at 1 Backyard Way and is open to the public in-person or virtually. Participants can enjoy family-friendly activities including Atlanta's best food trucks, a children's play zone, live entertainment, appearances by 11Alive's Chesley McNeil and Aisha Howard and a Zumba warm up led by Midday personality Jackie Paige of Majic 107.5/97.5. The Food Bank invites the community to register online or donate to the 39th annual Hunger Walk Run by visiting www.HungerWalkRun.org.

Over 600,000 people are estimated to be food insecure in the greater Atlanta area and surrounding counties. That's more than 1 in 9 Georgians. Among children the rate is 14% or 1 in 7 and among communities of color the rate can be 2 to 3 times the national average. Funds raised through the Hunger Walk/Run support the Food Bank's mission and are shared with participating nonprofit partner agencies who are part of the Food Bank's extensive network of over 700 pantries, kitchens, shelters, schools, and senior centers who distribute food to neighbors in need.
