Fall Food Drive

Every year, UGA Gwinnett honors those in need by collecting donations of food for a local partner organization.  This year, we will be collected canned or boxed goods for the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) outside the library and the bookstore.  The drive will run from November 1st through November 16th. 

ACFB distributes more than 35 million pounds of food annually.  Last year, over 1.4 million pounds of food was distributed in Gwinnett alone.  ACFB relies on donations; if you have something you can spare this holiday season to help feed the hungry, please consider doing so.

Items most needed:

• Peanut butter
• Canned tuna
• Canned beans
• Canned soups, stews, and pastas
• 100% fruit juice
• Canned fruits or vegetables
• Macaroni and cheese dinners
• Whole grain, low sugar cereals

Non-food items most needed:

• Paper products (napkins, plates, etc.)
• Diapers
• Toiletries
