ATLANTA — WSB-TV Channel 2 and United Way of Greater Atlanta have joined forces to raise money for the United Way’s Hunger Crisis Response Fund, as the food crisis in North Georgia develops at a rapid pace.
The fund ensures people are fed and food banks are supported. Tens of thousands of local families are already struggling to put food on the table, and a disruption in Federal food benefits on Nov. 1 is expected to make things even harder.
Even if benefits are restored soon, the ripple effect is real. That’s why Channel 2 and the United Way are asking Georgians to help fill the gap.
“In times like these, nothing is more important than serving our community,” said WSB-TV President Marian Pittman. “WSB-TV has committed all its resources to help raise awareness of this developing food crisis. When there is a need, Channel 2 viewers respond in force.
“Together we are focused on making sure the United Way has the money it needs to put meals on the table for families right here in North Georgia.”
People who want to donate can go to the United Way’s Hunger Crisis Response Fund. Georgians can also scan the QR code that appears in every live Channel 2 Action News newscast.
Your gift will provide meals and emergency food boxes to families who suddenly find themselves without support. Your gift helps support children and families in every corner of North Georgia.
How Your Donation Helps:
- $25 feeds a child for a week
- $50 delivers fresh food to a family in crisis
- $100 restocks local school and community pantries
- $250+ supports regional food distribution events
Even when the shutdown ends, the hunger crisis won’t end overnight, but your help can make sure no one goes hungry while families recover.
