Soldiers' Angels Military & Veteran Food Distribution
Pantry #11291
At Soldiers’ Angels, we believe that no one who served our country should struggle to put food on the table. That’s why we offer a range of food assistance programs to support low-income Military and Veteran families—ensuring access to nutritious food when it’s needed most. In cities across the country, Soldiers’ Angels hosts monthly drive-through Food Distributions for active-duty Service Members, Guardsmen, Reservists, and Veterans of all generations. These large-scale events take place in:
Atlanta, Charleston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Orlando, San Antonio, and—coming Summer 2025—Washington, D.C. Each registered participant receives approximately 75 pounds of food, including fresh produce, meats, and non-perishable items—enough to provide up to two weeks of meals for a family of four. Depending on the location, each event supports 200–350 Service Members or Veterans and their families.
I specifically oversee the Atlanta area and as such am looking to identify food sources which we can acquire to support these monthly events.

Our food distribution takes place the 4th Friday of each month with the exception of May, November, and December. In these months, the event takes place on May 16th, November 14th, and December 12th. The distribution is from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. On days when there would be a donation we would ask that it arrive as early as possible (9:00 am). Each month we serve at least 250 veteran families.
We host these monthly events, on typically the 4th Friday of each month at the Arcadia VA Clinic located in Decatur GA. We do not store food so any items received that day are distributed to the veteran families we will serve that day. Our next event is scheduled for Friday June 27, 2025.
ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
