Atlanta Food Volunteering | Vegetarian/Vegan Meals @ Downtown Atlanta

WELCOME to the Food4Lives Community! The Food4Lives Summer Service is a series of events that occur every Saturday where we gather downtown at Woodruff Park to serve fresh vegetarian meals to the homeless community. The goal is to serve at least 250 people!

We also encourage bringing any items/ vegan or vegetarian snacks, or cooked meals from home that you would be willing to serve if possible! See the list of slots and sign up for any if you decide to bring extra things here

Time:
11:30am - Leaving to go to Woodruff Park
Location: Woodruff Park in front of the "Atlanta From The Ashes" Phoenix Statue near the Walgreens.
The exact address is 35 Peachtree St NW, Atlanta GA 30303
Parking: If bringing larger items such as dishes, foldable tables, etc., you will be able to park alongside the road (35 Peachtree St NW) in front of the Phoenix statue when headed to Woodruff Park. For others who are volunteering, we encourage either carpooling or paying for parking (about $1 to $1.50/hr) at one of the surrounding areas.
