Weekly meals for elderly neighbors in Atlanta
Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Atlanta.
🇺🇸 Georgia, United States3,286 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Saturday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 124 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 50% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Atlanta market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $2,300
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100
• Baby formula and diapers: $590
• Refrigeration and electricity: $210
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Lincoln. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Atlanta.
You're not alone, Lincoln. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Athens
thinking of you, Lincoln. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Best of luck, Lincoln. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours
