About Us

What is UGA Food2Kids?

UGA Food2Kids is a student-run nonprofit organization through the university that partners with the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia. We aim to decrease food insecurity in the Athens-Clarke area through weekly baggings, mobile pantries, educating children on proper nutrition and exercise at local elementary schools, and fundraising to provide food for those in need.
