If you are in #Atlanta or #MetroAtlanta, here are some food resources. We protect us.

If you or someone you know needs fresh food this month, the Atlanta Community Food Bank is hosting free mobile food pantry distributions across metro Atlanta from November 1–15, 2025.

These are walk-up or drive-through events, and most will provide produce.
No appointment needed.

📱 To find a pantry near you anytime, text FINDFOOD or COMIDA to 888-976-2232
🌐 More info: www.acfb.org/get-help

Please share to help spread the word. ❤️

Flyer titled “WHERE TO GET FREE FOOD IN ATL.” Subtitle reads: “The following distros offer free food to anyone who shows up. No strings attached, no requirements, no BS. Last updated 12/16/24.” To the right, there is a cartoon radish character holding a sign that says “FOOD FOR THE PEOPLE!” and a QR code labeled “google map:”.

Anyone in #NEGeorgia or the #Atlanta / #metroAtlanta areas have any good #hiking spots or recommendations? I’m not an avid hiker per se, but I do enjoy a good nature walk and the positive impact it has on my mental health. I am looking for inspiration and new adventures 🩷☀️🌲🌿
