Event Details

The Product Rescue Center (PRC) at the Atlanta Community Food Bank provides quality food, beverages, and health products to over 800 non-profit partner agencies in Metro Atlanta and the North Georgia area. These partner agencies, in turn, distribute these products to individuals and families in need. Volunteers make this possible by sorting, inspecting and packing donated items for these groups.  The PRC is a fun, hands-on project.  Family and friends are welcome!
