Created in 1985, the Georgia Food Bank Association (GFBA) is a membership association serving seven regional food banks in Georgia, which collectively distribute more than 130 million pounds of food annually to 2,600 partner nonprofits with food assistance programs in all 159 counties throughout the state.
The Association was created in a statewide effort to support the food security of low-income and needy individuals, families and households, through their efforts and in support of their member food banks. Its role is to coordinate and maximize the efforts of member food banks in the State, enabling them to better provide a healthy and adequate food supply for people in need.
