WHAT WE DO
promote resiliency
Our Mission:
Creating communities across America to equip those in need of healthy food.
Our Vision:
An America where everyone has the certainty of a healthy meal and the opportunity to connect and grow with their neighbors
How We Serve Families
Joining a Food Security Group stretches families’ food budgets and brings
supportive relationships in a community setting where neighbors get to know each other.
Here’s how it works!
We buy food from a local food bank and fresh produce vendor
Our truck delivers the food for the members to unload
The steering committee collects fees and organizes meeting flow and upcoming events
Once food is divided among the families the meeting begins
Members lead a devotional, pray for one another, and learn about nutrition and healthy lifestyles
Families grow through supportive friendships and learn life skills that lead to resiliency
Training Where You Are
Food Security for America will customize a training session for your non-profit, faith institution, or Title One school.
COST:
Host organization reimburses all travel costs plus a $250 training fee.
Organizations outside a 4-hour driving radius of Atlanta will require round-trip airfare.
FORMAT:
Training includes high-level overview of program model and detail of routine procedures. The overview is designed for the broader community, and the detail is for people who would actually set up and run the program. We can visit your local food bank, meet with potential supporters and/or program members, and evaluate meeting space.
