Urban Recipe

Urban Recipe is not a food pantry. We distribute food to those who need it, but we are do it through food co-ops. Co-ops are communities that meet every two weeks to receive and distribute food. The members volunteer their time to serve one another and ultimately, their own families. Read more about our unique food distribution model and how it is set up to fight food security in Atlanta on our newest blog: urbanrecipe.org/news #urbanrecipe #foodcooperative #foodsecurity #atlantacommunity

Last week we celebrated our steering committees with lunch out at Daddy Z's BBQ! These co-op members have stepped up and served their peers as elected leaders, using their skills and talents to serve the co-op. Across our co-ops, we have a total of 32 steering committee members, with two more co-ops adding steering committees soon, after their first year of operation. Thank you all for your service to the mission! #urbanrecipe #leadership #growingleaders #atlantacommunity

Happy Birthday Urban Recipe! On this day, 34 years ago, our first co-op met. Back when we first started, Urban Recipe was supported by volunteers and staff of the Georgia Avenue Church. We operated out of a small pantry and a single, non-commercial refrigerator. Now, we are in a warehouse space, able to provide staples like protein and produce at almost every co-op meeting! When do you remember hearing about Urban Recipe? #urbanrecipe #atlantahistory #grantpark

We started off the year with a bang, serving families in 10 co-ops and 6 mobile pantry distributions. We can't wait to see how this impact will grow in 2025! #impact #urbanrecipe

In 2024, we served food out of 10 co-op and 14 mobile pantry locations. That was 247 co-op meetings and 147 mobile pantry distributions across the city last year. We focus on sustained, regular, recurring support for families. It is incredible what is possible when people come together to care deeply about one another and our communities.
