Since Solidarity Sandy Springs’ beginning during the pandemic in March 2020 our mission has been the same - to take care of our food insecure neighbors. From the onset, the one thing we knew for sure was that no one was going hungry in our own back yards! Not if we could do something about it. From the work force community to the children in our Title 1 schools to our senior citizens, we just want to make sure everyone has good nutritious food to eat.

Thanks to YOU we are helping 700-750 neighbors weekly. We have given away over 1 MILLION pounds of food this year alone. We have the most beautiful fresh produce with 12-15 selections daily. We are a safety net for our neighbors who don’t have to decide between paying rent, utilities, gas and feeding their family.

Not only are you helping feed people, you are helping create community events that truly make everyone’s life better. Kids are volunteering at an increasing rate, experiencing the joy of giving back. Families are volunteering together, sharing an activity that lessens another’s burdens. Professionals are stepping up offering services that will truly change the trajectory of our neighbors’ futures. Love, compassion, openness to new ideas, fun and interaction are creating a true sense of belonging and community that is bigger than just ourselves.

Please know that your acts of giving, no matter the size, are blessings every day and are truly met with immense gratitude. The people we are serving are truly grateful. No sense of entitlement. No expectations. This only makes us want to do more. We are Solidarity, not charity. We are a hand up, not a hand out.

As we enter this season of abundance, kindness, and gratitude, will you help us on this Giving Tuesday to continue our mission to create a village for our neighbors?

With all our love and gratitude,
Jennifer Barnes, Co-Founder
