Services

The Athens Area Emergency Food Bank complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, citizenship, national origin, age, disability, or sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity) or any other protected status. You are not required to have a social security card to access food. We are open from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., Monday through Friday, to serve you. You will receive a one-week supply of groceries that will provide 100% of the nutrition that your family needs for that week and you are able to visit us three times in a six-month period. There is no means testing for food bank service. Your amount of income, the value of the home or apartment you live in or the kind of car you drive will not restrict your access to emergency provisions. While USDA commodities do have income limitations, please be assured that you will still be served with non-USDA products should your income exceed those amounts. Requirements: proof of Clarke County address, names and dates of birth for each household member.
