Fox 5 Atlanta: Metro Atlanta food banks struggle to keep shelves filled amid government shutdown
By Kim Leoffler | November 3, 2025
Food pantries across metro Atlanta say community donations have helped them keep shelves stocked as more families turn to them for support while waiting on their next SNAP benefits.
The Midtown Assistance Center is also seeing more donations come in from people, young and old, to meet the growing demand.
“We receive daily requests every day, and we’ve seen those go up three times what they were back in August,” said Jenny Jobson, executive director of the Midtown Assistance Center.
