Hearts Against Hunger Hearts Against Hunger partners with local schools to provide support to food insecure children. Hearts Against Hunger was conceived in August, 2017.

Hearts Againts Hunger provides food to children whose main source of nutrition is “free and reduced” breakfast and lunch at school. Hearts Against Hunger coordinates with community non-profit organizations, local businesses, and families to raise funds and solicit food donations. Food is distributed through local elementary schools directly to the children for home use. Hearts Against Hunger ensures that students have sustenance over weekends and holidays. While attending a family vacation in Kitty Hawk, NC, co-founder, Jill Edwards, was inspired by a presentation about the Wright Brothers and their pursuits in aviation. The presenter challenged the audience to “find something that you are passionate about and to strive to make a difference.” These words left a lasting impression. Returning home, Jill, board member Katherine Hoffman, and their young children volunteered to distribute lunches to children in need through a program called Lunches Of Love. The children’s gratitude and appreciation had a profound impact on the families. Learning about food insecurity in her own neighborhood and the dire needs of children in her own school proved revelatory. Jill reflected on her time in Kitty Hawk, NC and the words of the presentation encouraging her to make a difference. She resolved to work with her children’s school. Jill also began reaching out to friends and family members, establishing a board of directors. The diverse membership includes individuals experienced in non-profit administration and local volunteers committed to community service. As Hearts Against Hunger continues through its developmental stages, Jill and volunteers are already reaching out to several businesses in the area to form relationships that will support this effort. The staff and administration at the elementary school is part of this effort. More than 40% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced meals. Starting modestly to help out ten students a week, the organization will grow help all of the families in need. We are already working directly with the counselor and teachers to reach out to families most in need and determine how best to distribute the food. Food insecurity in Gwinnet County and all over Metro Atlanta is a heartbreaking and almost invisible problem. We can support our most vulnerable children working together in our community. Our dream is to eliminate food insecurity. No child should go to bed hungry.

As students return to school we are in need of assistance to stock our shelves in order to provide food for the weekends. Many students in our community face food insecurity especially when school meals are not available. Your donations can make a significant impact in ensuring these students have access to nutritional meals. Please consider supporting our cause by donating to help alleviate hunger among students in need. Please message to coordinate dropping off donations. Thank you for your continued support!

We have a wonderful opportunity to make a meaningful difference by volunteering to pack food boxes for local food-insecure households. This is a flexible, impactful way for individuals, families, or community organizations to give back and support their neighbors in need.
By dedicating just about an hour of your time, you can help assemble nourishing, well-rounded food boxes that will be distributed to local families. The boxes can contain a variety of shelf-stable staple items like rice, beans, canned vegetables, pasta, and more - the basic building blocks to prepare simple, wholesome meals.
This volunteer work is needed all throughout the summer, so you can choose a time that fits your schedule, whether that's a morning, afternoon, or evening shift. It's a fantastic chance to get the whole family involved in community service, teaching children the value of compassion and empowering them to make a tangible difference in people's lives. Plus, it's a rewarding, hands-on way to give back and ensure our community's most vulnerable members have access to the sustenance they require.
So if you're looking for an impactful way to contribute, please reach out to learn more about packing food boxes for local food-insecure families - your help will be greatly appreciated!
