Current Services
Food Pantry
Due to COVID-19, we closed our facility on Broad Street in Chamblee, which included the Pantry and Thrift Shop. However, the pantry is now up and running in a beautiful new location at St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church 3110 Ashford-Dunwoody Rd. in Atlanta.
Food pickup instructions
Food is distributed in the St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church parking lot using a drive-through method of delivery. You must stay in your car the entire time and make sure the food bags can be placed in your trunk. Empty your trunk before entering the parking lot. For safety reasons, we do not want to enter your car to place food bags.
Once you enter the lot, follow the signs to the Registration Area. A volunteer will register you, asking for your name, address, phone number, number of people in your household, and if you meet the income threshold.

Am I eligible?
Clients are screened by state and federal guidelines to insure they are eligible to receive food.
A screening form will be completed at registration by a volunteer to determine which program(s) you are eligible to access for food, for example TEFAP (Federal) and GNAP (State).
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)
Georgia TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program) aims to give emergency food assistance to individuals who live below the poverty level. Clients whose self-declared household income is 130% or less of the poverty line are eligible to receive food through Federally-funded TEFAP.
This table shows monthly and weekly income for each family size. If you certify that your household income is at or below the income listed for the number of people in your household, you are eligible to receive food.
