Atlanta Habitat for Humanity ReStore collects for Atlanta Community Food Bank and APD Zone 6 holiday donations

Drop-off nonperishable food and toys thru December 15

Atlanta Habitat for Humanity is helping the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Atlanta Police Department Zone 6 to bring holiday joy to some Atlanta families.

The Atlanta Habitat ReStore is accepting nonperishable food and new toys on behalf of the two organizations. Items such as canned meats (including tuna, stews and soups) and canned fruits and vegetables are in great demand. Paper products, diapers, toiletries are also requested.

These items as well as new and unwrapped toys for children of all ages will be accepted during regular store hours.

The Atlanta Community Food Bank will manage the food distribution to families. APD officers will make sure that children in Zone 6 receive a toy to enjoy this holiday season as part of its 6th Annual Toy Drive & Giveaway event.

Food and toy donations can be dropped off during shopping hours, 10:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., now through Friday, Dec. 15, 2017 at the Atlanta Habitat ReStore, 271 Chester Ave SE, Atlanta, 30316.

Our goal is that, by 2025, all hungry people across metro Atlanta and North Georgia will have access to the nutritious meals they need when they need them. It takes the power of our whole community to make that possible. Join us at ACFB.org.
