During the weekend, many children go hungry without access to free or reduced-price school meals. Each week during the school year the Chattanooga Area Food Bank delivers over 1800 sacks of healthy food items to schools in our service area. Each sack contains basic, healthy food items such as cereal, milk, juice, fresh fruit, granola bars, soup, and even recipes that will help sustain children through the weekend.
In order to make these deliveries, we are in need of some volunteer drivers. The Hamilton County school deliveries go out each Wednesday morning about 8:30am and go to three local schools. The the run takes about three hours. The deliveries will be starting the week of September 11 th.
If this is something that you or your company would be willing to assist with this school year, it would be a great help to the Food Bank and these three schools.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Chattanooga Area Food Bank is to lead a network of partners in eliminating hunger and promoting better nutrition in our region.
Description
The Chattanooga Area Food Bank (CAFB) healthfully nourishes the poor and hungry throughout a 20-county service area including rural Tennessee, Bradley and Hamilton counties and Northwest Georgia.
Through a network of over 300 community partners and generous donations of money, time and resources the CAFB supports those in need until hunger is eliminated, their mission is accomplished, and the CAFB is no longer needed.
The CAFB programs provide 12.7 million pounds of food annually to 160,000 clients who live below the poverty line. Much of the food comes from the donations of retailers, manufacturers, and local farmers. As a member of Feeding America, the national umbrella organization of food banks and the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization, the CAFB can further leverage their dollars to get more food for less - a savings that is passed along to agency partners.
