As hunger crisis grows, Congress should delay the SNAP cost shift
News broadcasts and social media feeds showed lines of cars of people seeking food. The crisis felt unprecedented. Existential. In response, the federal government deployed extraordinary levels of food and funding, giving food banks and other service providers resources to ensure communities had access to food. While the images of car lines have left our news feeds, we are facing a new hunger crisis, one that is less visible but greater than the COVID-era need.
Times Opinion: For Georgia to move forward, we need strong nonprofits. Here’s how to help.
The holiday season is a time when families gather and look ahead. Supporting your local charities during the holiday season and beyond matters.

Food Insecurity: The Atlanta Community Food Bank and IICF Team Up to Combat Hunger in Georgia
Children and families all over the US are facing growing difficulties accessing the resources they need to survive as the need for food assistance continues to surpass pre-pandemic levels. According to our data, one in seven children will go to bed hungry tonight. In Atlanta, we’ve unfortunately seen these statistics come to life.

Opinion: Hunger crisis brings compassion
We are facing the greatest domestic hunger crisis in nearly a century. We should celebrate and give thanks for the way our community has responded and continues to respond with unprecedented generosity. Can we practice this same compassion even when the crisis recedes? On March 11, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic. At the time, there were 1,000 known confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S., and only 17 in Georgia. Fewer than 30 Americans had died.
Opinion: Let’s reduce hunger here this summer and beyond
One in four metro Atlanta children are at risk of not having enough food this summer. Metro Atlanta is coming together to help. Growing these efforts beyond the summer through innovation will flatten the hunger curve, reducing the spread of food insecurity and helping enhance the long-term prospects for vulnerable kids and families.
Opinion: Farm bill puts families, farmers, food banks at risk
The U.S. House of Representatives is planning to vote soon on a new Farm Bill that would add dramatically to the 42 million Americans currently living in households without consistent access to food. The bill takes a dull axe to SNAP, the nation’s food stamp program, making massive unfunded and unproven changes that will put Georgia children, families, seniors and veterans in harm’s way.
