When Hunger Rises, So Can We

A message from our President and CEO, Amy Breitmann:

Hunger is rising across our community. More neighbors are turning to Golden Harvest and our partners for help, while the amount of donated and federal food available to meet that need continues to decline.

But our community is rising, too.

Amy shares what she is seeing across our 24-county service area, why this moment matters, and how each of us can help.

A letter from Amy Breitmann, President and CEO, Golden Harvest Food Bank On a recent Sunday, our Master’s Table Community Kitchen in Augusta served more than 500 hot, homemade meals in a single day. Not long ago, a busy day there meant 200 or 300.

Serving our neighbors is even better when we do it together.

Employees from Plant Vogtle recently joined us at The Master’s Table Community Kitchen through United Way to spend time serving neighbors and giving back to the community.

“Our team takes our community very seriously, and we really appreciate the opportunity to be able to serve,” said Caitlin Edwards, Organizational Effectiveness Coordinator at Plant Vogtle.

Through its United Way campaign, the Plant Vogtle team not only raises funds for local organizations, but also connects employees with opportunities to serve alongside United Way partner agencies.

We’re grateful for volunteers like Caitlin and the Plant Vogtle team who choose to give their time and help make sure our neighbors feel welcomed and cared for at The Master’s Table.

Thank you to Plant Vogtle and United Way for joining us in the fight against hunger!

What an incredible day at The Master’s Table Community Kitchen and Urban Farm!

Staff from our Augusta and Aiken campuses came together at The Master’s Table to serve our community and spend time connecting with the mission we work toward every day.

Days like this are such a meaningful reminder of why we show up: for our neighbors.

We’re so thankful for our incredible staff and the heart they bring to Golden Harvest every day. Whether they’re serving a meal, lending a hand at the Urban Farm, or supporting our mission behind the scenes, they are always ready to give back to the community we call home.

We’re grateful for this Golden Harvest family and for every opportunity we have to serve our neighbors together!

For Wellstar employee Takesha McCluney, volunteering at community food distributions is more than an opportunity to give back. It is personal.

Originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, Takesha now works in Augusta and has become a familiar face at distributions held through a partnership between Golden Harvest Food Bank, Wellstar, and Augusta Locally Grown. Together, the organizations are helping connect neighbors with fresh, healthy food and meal options.

When Takesha saw the opportunity to volunteer, she did not hesitate.

“I’m probably the first person to sign up every single time,” she shared.

Her reason goes back to her own childhood.

“I was once in that line as a child with my mom and my sister,” Takesha said. “Being able to accept the help then, and to be able to give the help now, it’s magical.”

Now, when she helps distribute food to neighbors, she sees the experience from a different side.

“Without places like Golden Harvest, so many people are hungry, and no one should ever be hungry,” she said. “I was once that one in line needing help. Now I’m able to be that hand for somebody else.”

This is Takesha’s second time volunteering at one of the partnership distributions, and she already knows she will be back.

Her story is a reminder that a volunteer shift can mean much more than a few hours of service. Sometimes, it is a chance to turn the help you once received into hope for someone else. Thank you to those volunteers who show up day after day to support our community.

It’s Blitz Day!

Today, FOX54 joined us at our Augusta Campus for a full day dedicated to It’s Spooky to Be Hungry®, helping us share how this community-wide tradition makes a difference for neighbors facing hunger.

Throughout the day, FOX54 is helping us spread the word, celebrate the people who make this campaign possible, and rally our community around one big goal: raising $500,000 to help provide 1.25 million meals.

We’re incredibly grateful to FOX54 for continuing to stand with Golden Harvest and using their platform to help bring attention to hunger in our community.

There’s still time to be part of It’s Spooky to Be Hungry. Every donation, food drive, fundraising team, and act of support moves us closer to a healthy, hunger-free tomorrow.

Together, we can Scare Away Hunger.

Today is Hunger Action Day, a reminder that ending hunger takes all of us.

At Golden Harvest Food Bank, we take action against hunger because access to nutritious food can change what is possible for a person, a family and a community. It can mean a child has the fuel to learn, a parent can worry a little less about the next meal, or an older adult can choose both groceries and other necessities.

That is why we do what we do every day: feed our hungry neighbors today while working toward a healthy, hunger-free tomorrow.

And today, our community showed up with us.

Thank you to every community member, volunteer, partner and supporter who joined us for our FIGHT HUNGER photo. Standing together was more than a picture. It was a visible reminder that hunger is a challenge we can take on together.

Every action matters. Every voice matters. And every person who chooses to fight hunger helps move our community forward.
