The call to serve

In Gwinnett County, 47,000 Kids Worry About food

11% of the population suffers from food insecurity — being without reliable access to food. Over half of Gwinnett’s children receive free or reduced meals during the school year. So what happens when school is out?

From the Founder

Many years back, my son, 13 at the time, happened to be playing baseball with the son of the founder of a non-profit food distribution program. The father and I got to talking about his work, and I was stunned by his words. At the time, I had no idea about the local hunger issue. For all I knew, Gwinnett was a prosperous county. When I began to look into it, it was like a curtain was raised. Hunger wasn’t just an abstract problem on another continent, but a real crisis that affects our friends and neighbors in Gwinnett.

Once I knew about the ubiquity of food insecurity, I had to do something. It’s who I am, and it’s what I want to do. With the help of like-minded individuals, and with onsite training from veterans in the field, I started my own program of food rescue and distribution.

Satisfeed was born out of my wish to serve the community that is my home. Fueled by the joy of receiving a meal, and by the human connections we build along the way, I work to nourish Gwinnett.
