About Us

 6744 Flat Rock Rd -Midland, GA  31820

WHO WE ARE

Feeding the Valley Food Bank is one of eight regional food banks in Georgia and is a member of the Georgia Food Bank Association (GFBA).  We are also a member of the Feeding America network of food banks, the national network of food banks, and our nation’s leading hunger-relief organization.  We are inspected by the American Institute of Bakers, International (AIB) for food safety.    http://georgiafoodbankassociation.org       http://feedingamerica.org

WHERE WE ARE

Headquartered in Columbus, Ga., we serve as a centralized source for receiving and distributing donated food, fresh produce, and grocery products from national and local retail donors as well as seasonal produce from local providers. In addition, area businesses, individuals, civic groups, schools, and churches conduct food drives throughout the year to provide food for our programs. We also receive U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Georgia Nutritional Assistance Program (GNAP) commodities. All collected food is inspected and inventoried in our warehouse before distribution.  By meeting certain criteria and through an application process for 501(c)3 organizations, non-profit organizations and churches are able to utilize our services.

HOW WE DISTRIBUTE FOOD

We collaborate with more than 350 partner agencies (churches, non-profit organizations, emergency food pantries, after school programs, youth programs, senior centers, homeless shelters, and others) that shop in our warehouse and then distribute to families in need and are considered “food insecure” within their neighborhoods and communities. In our rural counties, where there may not be access to a food pantry or a resource for emergency food assistance, we distribute food through our Mobile Pantry Program.

Because of our large area of service in 17 counties in Georgia and one in Alabama, our partner agencies are a vital outreach to families in need and provide a distribution channel to deliver food to people in need.

We have three warehouses serving our 18-county coverage area:

Midland Warehouse ( Headquarters)

118 Gordon Commercial Drive Lagrange, GA 30240
