Had a chance to volunteer at the Food Bank. I had been donating money for years but this was the first time time I was able to see inside the facility. I was amazed how much food was available to give to hungry Ga families. Please consider volunteering. The experience is very well organized and as long as you can stand for 1.5 hours you can do it. If can’t volunteer please consider donating.

Great people to work with. Unloaded in less than 45 minutes. No overnight parking available. TA Truck Stop and a Walmart 20 miles north at I-85 and US-441. Gate opens at 8am.

What an excellent location it’s a little tight there’s no doubt but I got here a day early and I’ve spoken with Dave in receiving and he got me unloaded faster than I could believe. Thank you very much would love to come here again.

Wonderful people to work with at the food bank. This has been an answer to our prayers we were on the verge of closing when we were accepted with this wonderful organization. I would rate them higher than five stars if possible. God is good Maysville United UMC

They were a huge help to me and my son years ago when we were broke and had no money to buy groceries. Fortunately, our life has turned around and we now give back to NEGA Food Bank regularly. This is a great organization and the best way to help is to donate.

Helped out since our regular weekly driver was out of town. First time, easy in and out. Thank you for making sure the children are taken care of.

The food bank is wonderful because they make it possible for numerous homeless shelters and poor families to eat well and affordably. Note: This food bank is ONLY for registered non-profit buyers. Individuals cannot buy there. But God bless them, I've been eating their food for the past year at the Potter's House.

Friendly people they started unloading right away. Tight spot to turn around. But they will guide you.

This is a resource we are so fortunate to have anchored in Athens Clarke County. Serving a multi county region, The Food Bank is an outstanding partner, ensuring food supplies move to where its needed most.
