Sadly, though I live in wealthy county in the Atlanta metropolitan area - my county only has two organizations that really act as food banks .That fact really saddens me .
The one I give all of my food/medicine items to is called the Real Life Center,
located in Tyrone ,Ga. Though started by my church - it is supported by many churches in the area and very well run. They also run a store to help support thier community help efforts.
The other other two organizations I give all of my clothing / house hold items are two local organization which run stores that help support thier causes.
One is called Wellspring Living - which is a group that helps young women overcome difficult lives. It is amazing what this group does to impact the lives of young women.They also have facilities on the Northside of Atlanta.
The other is called The Clothes Less Traveled which supports a multitude of organizations all of which support our community in some way.
