United Way of Greater Atlanta

As the cost of groceries and everyday essentials continues to rise, more families are struggling to put food on the table.

Across the South, 1 in 8 people experience food insecurity, and more than half are not eligible for SNAP or other government assistance.

The effects of hunger reach far beyond mealtime, impacting health, learning, and overall well-being. That's why we're working alongside community partners to bring food closer to home and address the root causes of hunger across Greater Atlanta. Read how at: https://uwatl.org/4dUnYHS

🎓 By 2031, 85% of jobs in Georgia will require education beyond high school, yet only 27% of students in Greater Atlanta are on track to earn a degree or credential.

Financial barriers are a major reason why, and completing the FAFSA is often the first step to accessing the aid that makes college possible. Read how Christiana, one of the hundreds of students we support each year, made her path to college possible through our College Bound program, in partnership with organizations like The Scholarship Academy: https://uwatl.org/4unehc1

📚 Early learning opportunities and access to books can play a big role in helping children feel prepared for their first day of school. Yet in Greater Atlanta, only 26% of children are proficient readers by 4th grade.

That’s why this morning, we partnered with Atlanta Public Schools for Kindergarten Fun Fest, where we hosted a Kindergarten Signing Celebration 🎓✏️

Pre-K scholars and their families had the chance to “commit” to an APS elementary school, receive a library nook filled with books to encourage reading at home, and learn about other resources to help make the transition into kindergarten a little smoother!
