“Eat your vegetables.” It’s something we’ve
all heard over and over while growing up.
And in my family’s case, we grew much of
what we ate. I still have strong images of my
grandmother picking vegetables from the
garden for that evening’s meal and bringing
them into the house using her apron as the
container. I’m not sure why she didn’t use a
bushel basket, which we had plenty of. I think
it was something to do with the precious
cargo staying close to her and knowing that
with just a touch of love
and low heat she could
offer her family the best
meal possible.
With each generation,
we pass on the same
imperative – to eat your
fruits and vegetables,
stay healthy, and grow
strong. We know, and
have known for a long
time, that it’s good for
us – good for our health
and ability to learn and
grow – to eat well. When
everyone is fed in the
family, there is a certain
satisfaction and harmony that exists.
On a grander level, we know it’s good for
the “soul” of a community to have an acknowledged commitment that no one will go
hungry. It reflects our character and values,
and cuts across religious, political, and racial
differences. We know we have enough food,
tools, know how, experience, leadership, and
support to ensure that no one will go hungry.
The only question is do we have the will to
make it happen?
At the Food Bank, we are doing some neat
things – things that are making a difference,
and most importantly, things that involve a
lot of organizations and people in the process.
(See our feature article on Page 8.) We work
with hundreds of community gardens, helping
to actually start and maintain many of them.
Through our educational curriculum, we hold
classes and work with schools and universities
on programming and
policy issues. We glean
from stores, farmers,
gardens, restaurants,
food shows, and special
events to ensure that
every pound of food
finds a grateful home.
We help stretch people’s
valuable dollars to
buy more for less. We
work with a coalition of
individuals and organizations to look at our
food system, and figure
out ways to access fresh,
healthy, locally produced
food. We work hand in hand with the public
sector at every level to make earned benefits
more accessible and impactful. We encourage, support, and reinforce best practices.
But there are larger conversations going on
at every level of community. Conversations
about how we grow our food, how we use
our land, how we promote healthy eating
and living, and how we can provide access
Board of Directors

to nutritious food for those most in need
and least able to pay. There are some very
creative initiatives developing around Farm
to School programs that connect the farmer
to the school, and ultimately to the students,
to ensure much more nutritious meals that
promote better health and learning. There are
more conversations about joining Community
Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms, buying
seasonal food at farmers markets, and how
we can teach the next generation the value of
growing their own food. There are new collaborations being developed to address food
deserts – places in our communities where
people have no access to fresh and healthy
food. There are conversations going on in our
schools and universities about what constitutes an effective public health program, and
how we can combine the study of health with
planning, land use, physical fitness, and public
policy to create multi-disciplinary courses.
I am happy to say that the Food Bank community is fully engaged in creating our shared
future. Rarely does a day go by that we aren’t
meeting face-to-face with someone in our
“extended family” – partner agencies, other
Georgia food banks, gardeners, advocates,
policy-makers, volunteers, donors, and more.
These meetings are often happening in our
facility and facilitated by our staff. Just like a
family coming together for dinner, we are all
at the table, sharing ideas and making plans
for the future. In many ways the Food Bank
community represents the “container” – the
apron of old that fits it all nicely in and brings
to the table a bountiful harvest – one that
has room for traditional approaches, newer
institutional initiatives, and even cutting edge
tools.
With a future that portends smaller
government and less public wealth, we will
all have to do much more for ourselves,
whether we are a person in need or a person
who wants to help. Community members
will have to get more involved in articulating
what we want, how we wish to live our lives,
and what we are willing to sacrifice. It’s called
the “social capital” of any community. While
things seem to be broken at the national level
in addressing very difficult issues, this only
reinforces that decisions made closer to the
people are often better decisions. Programs
run by the private sector are often more
accountable and participatory.
We will see if the grand experiment will
work – the assumption that private sector
organizations can offer a better service for a
cheaper price with more compassion and accountability. We will see what containers will
hold the ideas, visions, resources, and people
to carry them out. It’s an exciting time. We
only need to provide the nourishment and a
safe place for our ideas to grow.
With each new season comes opportunity and hope. With each new crop comes
nourishment and strength. With each new
commitment comes a chance to address
old problems in completely new ways. The
container is big enough to hold us all. We
need not be divided around this precious
thing.

Our Mission
Our mission is to fight hunger by
engaging, educating and empowering
our community.
Who We Serve
The Atlanta Community Food Bank
supports more than 700 local nonprofit organizations with hunger-relief
programs. Food pantries, community
kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters and senior centers are among the
agencies that receive product from the
Food Bank and provide food and other
critical resources for low-income Georgians who suffer from hunger and food
insecurity. The Food Bank also operates
several community projects to aid our
agencies in community building, technical assistance and advocacy efforts.

Agency of the Quarter
Not Just One, But 730!
It’s been a tradition for many years that with each issue of
Foodsharing, the Food Bank features one of our partner agencies as the Agency of the Quarter, spotlighting the incredible
work this agency has done to alleviate hunger and fulfill other
critical needs in their community.
With Hunger Action Month coming in September, we
thought “What better time to celebrate not just ONE, but ALL
of our partner agencies? What better time to celebrate the impact we’re able to make in the lives of hundreds of thousands
of people because of the work we do together?”
There are currently 730 agencies that partner with the
Atlanta Community Food Bank – nonprofit organizations that
receive food and grocery products from us, and in turn, provide groceries and meals to people in need . Whether they are
running a food pantry from a church in Cartersville, serving
meals at a shelter in Downtown Atlanta or operating an afterschool program in Decatur, they have one thing in common:
They are there to answer the call of families and individuals
who need help – help getting
groceries on the table when all the
money has run out, help finding a
hot meal and a bed, help securing a
safe place for kids to do homework,
enjoy an afternoon snack and even
an early dinner while parents still
need to be on the job.
Without our partner agencies, the
Food Bank would never be able to
reach the thousands of people seeking food assistance each week in a
service area that spans 38 counties
located throughout metro Atlanta,
but also extends as far south as
Heard County and as far north as
Dade County.
ACFB Senior Agency Customer
Service Associate Marcos Pope
described the relationship between
the Food Bank and our partner agencies as a team with a common goal – that of eradicating the societal ill of hunger. “To
function as a team and achieve victory, you have to play your
position, and you have to play it well,” said Pope. “Together,
we’re able to effectively tackle the problem because everyone
knows the role they play.”
Of course, it never hurts to have some star players on your
team, especially in times of such economic hardship. Pope has
witnessed agency after agency step up to the plate to increase
their food distribution, even when resources are depleted.
“These agencies are truly giving everything they can. Even
if they had no funds, they would find a way to serve those in
need,” said Pope. “I’ve had the privilege to be at some of their
distributions, and you can see their hearts at work. I’ve had
the privilege of interacting with people who are concerned for
the well being of ALL humankind – it makes a big difference
for me,” he added. “Everybody in need doesn’t come from the
same place – we all come from different walks of life.”
A busy day on the loading dock! Each day, more than 50 partner agencies arrive at the Food Bank to pick up food and grocery
products, and return to their communities to serve meals and distribute groceries to struggling families and individuals. From July
of 2010 to June of 2011, partner agencies received nearly 30 million pounds of product from the Food Bank – a 34% increase
over the prior fiscal year.

Volunteers of the Quarter
People Making Progress
Visit the Atlanta Community Food
Bank’s Product Rescue Center on any
given Wednesday or Thursday and you’ll
surely see our friends in the purple
t-shirts. They’re the good folks from
People Making Progress (PMP), a notfor-profit partner that helps adults with
developmental disabilities become fully
integrated into their communities.
For instance, you might see John
Clifton who works in a local cafeteria
six days a week, but on Wednesday—his
one day off—he volunteers at the Food
Bank. Or maybe you’ll meet Tim Shannon, who lost his job and now spends
his days with us here at ACFB helping
out others. Overall, what you’ll witness
is one great group of people—the Food
Bank staff and the team from PMP—
laughing and having a good time while
working together to give back to the
community.
PMP got its start in 1988 when cofounders Carol Golden and Dorothy
F. Miller joined together to build a
program that delivered quality services
to allow adults with developmental disabilities to live, work and thrive in their
communities. The group now serves
over 30 disabled individuals and offers
supported living services to 14 people.
How did PMP team up with the
Atlanta Community Food Bank? The
group began volunteering after three of
their members were laid off from their
jobs at a local mall and needed something to do during the day.
“These guys are high functioning
and really enjoy being around people,
so when choosing a place for them we
wanted something that would engage
and challenge them while also helping to improve their skills,” said Mary
Asbill, an instructor at PMP.
Tim and John say their favorite part
about working at the Food Bank is
“sorting cans, especially when you go
really fast.” Tim also makes sure to
talk about (and demonstrate) the “fist
bumps” that the staff and volunteers
give one another as a way of saying
hello.
In April, the Food Bank awarded
PMP with its Civic Volunteer Group
of the Year award. To say the volunteers were excited to receive this honor
(l-r) Tim, Mary and John take a quick break from sorting food
to smile for the camera during their volunteer shift in ACFB’s
Product Rescue Center.
would be an understatement.
“Tim was cheering everyone on and
had the whole room on their feet yelling and clapping,” Mary explained. “A
couple even cried—they were so proud.”
It’s partners like PMP that make the
Food Bank such a fun place to volunteer.
Tina Barniak, a volunteer group leader
in the PRC, adds, “The volunteers from
People Making Progress are like family—they miss us when they’re gone
and we miss them, too. Their hearts are
truly solid.”
Wanted: More Outstanding Volunteers for ACFB
In case you haven’t heard, September is Hunger Action Month, a
national movement to encourage action to fight hunger in America.
During this month, the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Feeding
America work together to encourage citizens to raise their voices
against hunger and get involved.
The Food Bank’s volunteer program is an easy way to jump right
in! Whether it’s getting your hands dirty in a Community Garden
or supporting low-income students with the Kids in Need project,
the ACFB has many opportunities for you to help.
One of the newest ways to get involved at ACFB is working with
our partner agencies to help load food into their vehicles. This
is an ideal project for individuals 16 years and older, who can lift
anywhere between 50 and 75 pounds. And you won’t just be
lifting boxes. You will be working directly with people from partner
agencies who regularly receive food from ACFB to serve to those
in need in their own communities.
You can also lend a hand at a special event like the upcoming
Produce Marketing Association Show, assist in our administrative offices or sort food in our Product Rescue Center (PRC).
Note: Shifts for the PRC opportunity fill quickly, so book yours in
advance!
We’d love to see you this fall! Sign up to volunteer by visiting
www.ACFB.org/volunteer or calling 678-553-5985.

The Perfect Recipe for Beating Hunger
Food gurus including the “Reelys” and
“Paula Dean” helped kick off the 2011
Atlanta Apartment Association’s (AAA)
annual Food-A-Thon themed Atlanta’s
Food Network benefiting the Atlanta
Community Food Bank on June 15.
Co-Chair Christie Eash said “The theme
reflects what the AAA does for the Atlanta Community Food Bank perfectly.
We’re a network of people who help the
Food Bank provide food to the hungry,
and the theme resonated with the entire
industry as we kicked off the 24th annual food drive.”
Recipes for success were flowing not
only from the AAA’s local “food stars,”
but also from past participants. Two of
last year’s successful ideas came from
Nichole Reed, regional manager for
AMLI and Ka’Ren Sarvis, director of
marketing and training for Lane Company. Reed encouraged participants to
use an online donation system. “We
increased the money raised by 20% by
having the link in our email signatures,
on our web site, in e-blasts and on Facebook,” said Reed.
(l-r) Food-A-Thon organizers Dana Hill, Greg Toomey, Melanie Poole, Chassity Sarvis, Ed Romano and Laura
Fomby gathered for a photo dressed as popular Food Network personalities prior to the taping of their “Atlanta
Food Network” segments. The segments will be used to mobilize this year’s Food-A-Thon teams.
Sarvis helped organize a teambuilding carnival. Lane corporate office
associates were divided into teams and
challenged with creating games, such
as putt-putt and balloon toss, that had
to be constructed with food items.
Guests “paid” with canned goods to
play games and purchase food and
drinks. “We had a blast!” said Sarvis.
This year’s Food Network theme
opens the doors for boundless creativity
as apartment industry employees, vendors and residents compete to see who
can collect the most food and funds.
The 2011 Food-A-Thon will culminate at
the Food Bank Friday, October 21 when
AAA members hope to deliver 1.3 million pounds of food during a morning
parade and carnival.

With this year’s theme – Can Can
Film Festival – the AAA wants you to
take ACTION to help feed those in
need in metro Atlanta. The evening will
be one to remember as guests dance
the night away to live music and enjoy
delicious bites from Atlanta area restaurants. There will be some fabulous
silent auction items, a cash bar and special surprises throughout the evening.
There may even be some “star” sightings.

Reaching the Summit
Every summer since 2007, a selected group of rising 9th12th graders from different high schools across metro Atlanta
descends upon the Food Bank for the annual Youth Summit
on Hunger and Poverty. The Summit’s popularity has grown
so much that we decided to host not just one – but three –
Youth Summits this summer! The three-day Summits were
held on June 14-16, July 12-14 and July 19-21. Each group of
students came to the Food Bank to learn about hunger and
poverty in Georgia and the United States. Every day was
packed with activities here at the Food Bank and out in the
community—students learned about food and budgets by
playing the Community Food Game, took a tour of the Food
Bank, sorted food and packed food boxes at the Product Rescue Center, visited and helped out at ACFB partner agencies,
and took a field trip to the State Capitol where they met with
Rep. Stacey Abrams and participated in a mock legislative
session. Each student walked away with newfound knowledge
and an action plan of something they’ll do to help fight hunger, whether it’s starting a Hunger Walk/Run team or writing
to their congressperson. To see participants’ video blogs about
their time, be sure to visit ACFB’s YouTube page!

Students’ Brainpower Makes
the Most of Unique Donation
Students came up with creative ways to use the tube
shaped racks their teachers got at the Kids In Need free
store – everything from map and ball holders to hoops for
mini basketballs!
While teachers are gearing up for
the new school year, two lucky ones
might be thinking about how last year
ended on a high note! They won an
extra “shopping” trip to Kids In Need
for school supplies. Kids In Need, a
project of the Food Bank, is a free store
for educators providing brand new
school supplies for students whose academic success is threatened by poverty.
Teachers are allowed to shop for the
free supplies once each semester, so
the chance to come shop a third time
was a huge bonus.
To win this extra opportunity, the
teachers looked to their students for
help. Last spring, Kids In Need received an unexpected (and very large)
supply of wire, tube-shaped racks
for distribution. As a way to engage
teachers and students, Kids In Need
Director Judy Stamps decided to hold
a contest challenging them to design a
creative use for the racks. There were so
many great ideas submitted that Stamps
decided to have two winners instead of
just one! Teachers Marva Hampton of
Freedom Middle School and Tijuana
Jackson of Mount Olive Elementary
School both got to make the extra trip
to Kids In Need as they closed out their
school year.
Over 200,000 students in 13 school
systems benefit each year when their
teachers pick up brand new notebooks,
pencils, paper, art supplies and more
from Kids In Need. If you know a
teacher in a school with 80% of the
students receiving free or reduced lunch,
tell them to visit ACFB.org’s Kids In
Need page to see a list of the participating counties.

Choosing Nu
In a time when cost and access are prohibiting factors, it isn’t the easiest choice to make – especially if your family is in need of food
assistance. Thanks to some innovations happening right here in Georgia and on the national front, there’s hope on the horizon.
Eight year old Essence Tiller worked
hard moving a wheelbarrow filled with
mulch into the garden at Good Shepherd
Church in southwest Atlanta. She
was there volunteering at the church’s
community garden along with about 20
other students as part of the Odyssey
program. Odyssey, a partnership
of Atlanta Public Schools and The
Westminster Schools, offers rising 3rd
through 12th graders the opportunity
to participate in academic enrichment
activities. For instance, the students
receive hands on experience growing
vegetables in community gardens such
as the one at Good Shepherd and one
on Westminster’s campus. The students
even got to make meals with some of the
vegetables from the school garden.
“We picked beans from our garden
and made vegetable soup,” said Tiller. “It
was good!” Jean Hunter, a second year
Odyssey teacher, said they also took a
8
field trip to Whole Foods to find other
vegetables for the soup, giving the
students a chance to experience more
varieties of fruits and vegetables they
might not have tasted before.
Another way students become
interested in nutrition is through a
unique gardening and letter exchange
that benefits the Westminster garden.
Towards the end of the school year,
Westminster second grade teacher
Ann Tedesco’s students till the garden
and plant vegetable seeds. They write
letters to the upcoming Odyssey
participants asking them to care for
and harvest their summer vegetables.
In turn, the Odyssey kids plant seeds
during the summer program, and write
letters asking Tedesco’s students to care
for their vegetables and harvest them
in the fall.
Nutrition has become a hot topic
across the country. From First Lady
Michelle Obama’s unveiling of USDA’s
“My Plate” campaign (ChooseMyPlate.
gov) to Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver’s
“Food Revolution,” we see key influencers taking on the issue. As witnessed in
Oliver’s latest show focusing on the Los
Angeles Unified School District, many
kids don’t know what broccoli is or
where butter comes from. Students at
the school he worked with were excited
to be part of his class and willing to
learn about the benefits of eating fresh,
non-processed foods – proof that kids
will eat more nutritious food if it’s
available.
How does Georgia rate with healthy
eating habits? Not so well, according
to statistics released by the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC). Obesity in
Georgia adults in 2009 was at 27.2 %;
in 2008, 19.6 % of children ages 6 to 11,
and 18.1 % of adolescents 12 to 19, were
obese. To address the problem, Governor Nathan Deal recently launched the
SHAPE initiative, a statewide program
designed to track fitness among Georgia’s youth. “Fitnessgrams” give students
annual fitness assessments in their PE
classes. Parents can see where their
children fall within the “healthy fitness
zone” and get advice on improving their
children’s health.
Another way metro area public
schools are working with kids is by
including gardening and nutrition in
the curriculum. In 2009, Decatur City
Schools began working with the Decatur
Farm to School Initiative, a grassroots
effort led by parents, teachers, school
administrators, community members
and organizations. These programs
connect schools with local farms to
work towards serving healthy meals
in school cafeterias, improve student
nutrition, provide health and nutrition
education opportunities that will last a
lifetime and support their local farmers.
Additionally, Decatur High School
offers an Organic Gardening 101 class
with a community garden on campus.
While the garden is used for teaching,
it also brings the community together.
Anyone interested can rent a plot for
Nutrition
$65 a year, with a discounted cost of
$20 for low-income families who wish
to participate – a great way for a family
to obtain fresh produce without a lot of
expense and teach their children about
healthy eating at the same time.
Expense is the primary factor keeping many low-income families from
including fresh produce in their meals.
Increasing numbers of Georgia children
are starting to have issues with weight at
a very young age because their parents
can’t afford the healthier options on
the grocery shelves. The CDC notes
that 10 to 15% of kids from low-income
families between the ages of two and
four were overweight or obese. Why are
these families more likely to show this
prevalence? It is mainly due to a fat and
carbohydrate driven diet which leaves
out fruits and vegetables due to the lack
of access to, and affordability of, healthy
food choices.
Many of the Food Bank’s partner
agencies have expressed concern about
how to provide more nutritious items at
a time when more people need help and
resources are stretched. Fresh produce
and protein are often the hardest items
to get through donations and are the
most expensive to purchase.
“How do we help without hurting? It
is very difficult for our clients to make
nutritious food choices given the range
of options that they face on a daily
basis.” This valid concern from a partner
agency representative who participated
in the Food Bank’s recent agency study
was echoed by many. They spoke with
us about the challenges they face in
providing not “just pieces of meals” but
“nutritious meals” to those in desperate
need. Organizations are searching for
creative ways to supply people with
both a sufficient quantity of food and a
better quality of food.
The issue has been on our minds
here at the Food Bank as well. As we
recently mapped out our strategic plan
for the next four years, we looked at
the key findings from the agency study
to determine how we can best help.
We aim to find ways to expand and
diversify food sources to make things
like fresh fruits and vegetables more
available to our partner agencies, and
thus available to those in need.
One way we hope to achieve this is
by aggressively expanding our retail
recovery programs both locally and in
rural areas, as well as increasing the
amount of fresh produce donated and
purchased, in alignment with Feeding
America’s initiative to secure more
national donations of fresh produce.
We also plan to work towards providing a consistently available inventory of
a few core items that are always in high
demand.
This might seem like a tall order,
but we know we can do it with the
continued support of the community.
September is Hunger Action Month –
a perfect time to consider how you can
help alleviate hunger and/or support
nutrition initiatives. Visit ACFB.org
to learn more about Hunger Action
Month.
When you get involved, you’ll not only
give back to your community, but you’ll
inevitably open new doors in your own
life. That was certainly the experience
for Essence Tiller and her Odyssey pals
who all agreed they’re much more likely
to taste new foods since volunteering
in the gardens. Whether they like what
they try is another issue altogether!
Tiller recently tried Kale for the first
time, and admitted it wasn’t her favorite.
“It was bitter,” she said with a puckered
up face.

Teaming Up to
Drive Away Hunger
AutoTrader.com is a long-time supporter
of the Atlanta Community Food Bank and
a true partner in the fight against hunger.
Last year, they created the Drive Away
Hunger program to make an even bigger
impact in our community. This summer
will mark the second year of this successful
program!
Drive Away Hunger 2010 was wildly successful – collecting over
11,500 pounds of food and raising $60,000 for the Food Bank, while
creating partnerships with the Atlanta Braves and local participating
Chevrolet dealers. This year’s program aims to be even bigger and
better!
So, how does it work? From August 12 through September 20, the
community will have the opportunity to donate canned food and test
drive new vehicles at participating Chevrolet dealerships.
In return for participation, consumers will receive various incentives:
• 10 cans = 1 baseball game voucher to a Braves game
• Each test drive = $10 donation to the Food Bank
• During the campaign, each test driver can enter for a chance to
win an on-field experience and luxury suite at Turner Field
Help us Drive Away Hunger! Together we CAN make a difference!

Sharpen Your Cooking Skills at a
Simple Abundance Cooking Class
Learn the finer points of gourmet cooking with Atlanta’s
best chefs and support the Food Bank at the same time! Simple
Abundance Cooking Class participants enjoy demonstrations,
tastings and a chance to win fabulous door prizes. Each exciting course is held at one of three Cook’s Warehouse locations, and is made possible by the generous support of many
sponsors. 100% of class proceeds benefit Atlanta’s Table, the
Food Bank’s prepared food rescue project. We are extremely
grateful to the talented chefs who donate their time and to The
Cook’s Warehouse for donating the class space.
This May, Chef Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene took on the unique challenge of
preparing a three-course meal without knowing ahead of time what he’d be working with –
kind of like a real life “Iron Chef” episode right here in Atlanta! The surprise ingredients came
straight from the farm in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box. Chef Hopkins and
his “Cooking Full-On Farm to Table” class were a big hit.
Last Quarter’s Simple Abundance Chefs:
Chef Robert Holley of Atlanta Fish Market
Chef Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene
Chef Piero Premoli of Pricci
Chef Joe Schafer of Parish
Chef Chip Ulbrich of South City Kitchen
