The Georgia Avenue Community Ministry has a rich history of reaching out to and responding to people in need in such a way as to create cooperation, build community and honor the gifts, abilities and talents that people bring with them into GACM. This Christian ministry will serve anyone in need regardless of religious affiliation or any other difference. Our desire is to work WITH people as opposed to "helping," so that relationships are formed, community grows and people gain what they need as well as helping others to have the same. The Georgia Avenue Community Ministry strives to be an asset building community development ministry.

A Brand New Food Co-op Forms--in Maryland!

On Sept. 9th in Easton, MD, a new co-op met for the first time.  Under the leadership of pastor Duke Dixon, the Presbyterian Church of Easton, gave people who had been coming to their food pantry the option of trying the new structure.  After showing folks a DVD about how our food co-ops operate in Atlanta, the Easton folks were excited to try it themselves.  The picture above shows the ten new co-op members at their first meeting.  There were also ten church members who volunteered to help things get off the ground who are not pictured here.  The co-op will meet once a month for now.  At GACM, we couldn’t be more tickled and we pray that this new effort will be blessed with every success. 

GACM expresses its appreciation for the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Without ACFB, we could not do our work. ACFB services hundreds of organizations providing millions of pounds of food each year to N. Georgia and beyond, providing food at 16 cents a pound. Our hat is off to Bill Bolling, executive director, Rob Johnson, chief operating officer, and all of their fine staff. acfb.org
