Upcoming Events

40 Days for Life Begings March 3rd

Knowing that “with God, all things are possible,” people of faith and conscience unite in 40 days of prayer and fasting. Christ told us some demons can only be driven out by prayer and fasting. The two go hand in hand. Prayer keeps us rooted in the fact that it is our desire to carry out God’s will. Fasting is a sacrifice that helps us reach beyond our own limitations with God’s help.

Hunger Walk

In-Person and Virtual 5K: Sunday, March 9, 2025
In-Person 5K at The Home Depot Backyard
Event Time: 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

This year marks the 41st anniversary of Hunger Walk Run, where we join the Atlanta community in taking steps in the fight against hunger! Hunger Walk Run, an annual 5K walk and “fun run", started in 1984. It is the largest fundraiser for the Atlanta Community Food Bank and unites our community to raise awareness and critical funds for local hunger relief. Proceeds from the event benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank and other local nonprofit organizations that support food pantries, community kitchens, shelters and programs for neighbors in need of food assistance. These benefiting partners help recruit participants and receive a percentage of the funds raised to support their direct hunger relief initiatives.

In its 40 years, Hunger Walk Run has raised more than $15.5 million for hunger relief - enough to help provide more than 46 million meals!

Whether you choose to walk or run, in person or virtually, you’ll join thousands of participants coming together to support our neighbors in need and celebrate achievements already made in the fight against hunger.

This year, you can help make a real difference in the lives of your fellow Georgians by helping us exceed our fundraising goals. Take the next step and join us for our event!

For more information, contact Hunger Walk Run at hungerwalk@acfb.org or call (404) 419-1723.
