There’s nothing that so profoundly expresses the significance of generosity as A Christmas Carol. We see so clearly through Ebeneezer and Mr. Cratchit how one small act of kindness can ripple outwards to form a tidal wave of positive change. That same spirit is what sparked Open Hand Atlanta: We are neighbors helping neighbors with love, compassion, and integrity.

In 1988, a group of friends gathered to cook meals for their neighbors disenfranchised by HIV/AIDS. Since then, Open Hand has expanded to meet the needs in the community to provide health-promoting food directly to the homes of those who need it. We provide all of our services free-of-charge to our clients, as over 90% of those we serve come from historically marginalized backgrounds, and 75% live at or below the federal poverty line.

Open Hand has grown to cook, package, and deliver 5,000 meals every day, ensuring our seniors, families, and our neighbors who are at risk for or have a disability or illness receive delicious, nourishing meals made with their wellbeing in mind. Every meal is designed by our registered dietitian nutritionists to address specific health conditions, and meets or exceeds the most rigorous nutritional standards. We believe food is love and food is medicine.

We’ve had the honor of partnering with Alliance Theatre, who has shown our neighbors in need overwhelming support by raising nearly $200,000 over the past 10 years. Thank you!
