Food is a
Must
Food Items in Short Supply
The Atlanta metro area has one of the fastest-growing poverty rates in the United States, leaving children and families in our communities going hungry. Because of private donations of food and money, MUST and MUST Neighborhood Pantries give away an astounding ton of food a day to those in need. Households may receive food free of charge. Anyone can receive bakery items daily donated by local grocery stores. In addition to our Food Pantries, MUST operates the Loaves and Fishes Community Kitchen which feeds 100+ hungry men, women and children every day at lunch. Breakfast and dinner are also served to 136 residents at the MUST Hope House shelter. The residents are provided a "to go" lunch during the workweek. Feeding neighbors in need has always been a core component of MUST Ministries and remains a constant reminder of the miracle of the loaves and fishes.
You can purchase much-needed food items from our Amazon.com wish list and they will be shipped straight to our Donation Center.

MUST Mobile Pantry
Since beginning operations in October 2021, the MUST Mobile Pantry has become extremely successful, serving 2.5 million pounds of food to nearly 32,000 of our neighbors in need. That is almost the same number of clients that MUST Ministries served across all programs in 2019!
MUST Mobile Pantry visits apartment complexes, universities, community buildings and churches every month.

There have been times when I wondered what dinner would be, only to realize it was grocery pickup day at the MUST Save It Forward school food pantry. I thank you all so very much!

My church was having a food drive for MUST, so I took a flier to FedEx to have it printed. The gentleman who helped me looked at the flier and said, ‘MUST fed me for a year.’ He explained that he lost his job and it took him a long time to find a new one. ‘I couldn’t have made it without the help I got from MUST and I will always be grateful for that help.
