ACCFB Volunteers and staff recently commemorated a major milestone: 500,000th Emergency Food Bags.

These bags of nutritious and delicious staples have been a major part of our COVID-19 emergency response. We never imagined we would be directly distributing so much food through drive-through distributions but we’re grateful to all of the folks who put in the time to make it happen. Visit our Facebook page to watch the team's assembly line!

People volunteer for so many reasons. Sometimes folks are seeking a sense of impact, time with friends, or a fun, engaging way to stay active.

And, sometimes, it goes a lot deeper.

Take a moment to read a blog from longtime Food Bank supporter Mysti Knight. Mysti was kind enough to share how volunteering became a way to honor her son PJ’s memory and we're so grateful. 

Sweep off the sidewalk and stock up on chalk!

It is almost time for our first-ever Chalk Art Contest so get ready to draw on May 1st. 

Stay tuned for more info about all of the exciting prizes from local businesses and our panel of celebrity judges!  

Recently, the Food Bank News reached out to talk to Sheila Burks, Manager of Equity and Inclusion at ACCFB, about how food banks across the nation view and operationalize equity in hunger relief work. Our work is far from over but we're thankful to have a team who cares so deeply about building a new and better normal.
