Open Hand Atlanta
This year C&C chose to volunteer at One Hand Atlanta where we helped prep and package food to be delivered to those facing food insecurity, specifically those with disabilities or nutritional illnesses. Open Hand is a wonderful local organization with the mission to eliminate disability and untimely death due to nutrition-sensitive chronic disease. They happily serve our community by helping people live happier, more productive lives. With the support of Open Hand, we were able to prepare and package over 2,800 meals!
They started as friends caring for friends, and that’s who they still are today. They began in 1988, when a small group of friends gathered to cook meals for their neighbors and loved ones disenfranchised by HIV/AIDS. Since then, guided by a mission of compassion and service, their organization has expanded to meet the needs in the community to provide health-promoting food directly to the homes of people who need it.
