USDA Secretary, State Leaders Visit Atlanta Community Food Bank

USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack’s start to the 2022 New Year included a visit to the Southeast Region on January 10th at the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) to get a firsthand look at the outstanding services the non-profit organization offers to more than 700 partner food assistance agencies across 29 North Georgia counties.

FNS Southeast Regional Administrator Willie C. Taylor and Regional Public Affairs Director Kim Betton greeted the Secretary upon his arrival, and joined the tour with community leaders Reverend Raphael Warnock – U.S. Senator for Georgia, Congresswoman Nikema Williams of Georgia’s 5th Congressional District, and supporting staff. ACFB President and CEO Kyle Waide led the tour of the 345,000 square-foot state-of-the-art central hub that’s making a huge difference in the fight against hunger. The tour culminated with a meet and greet with several ACFB partners and African American farmers across Georgia. Click the video link below for highlights.
