Solidarity Sandy Springs helps the least fortunate

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Solidarity Sandy Springs, a nonprofit food pantry created at the outset of the pandemic in March 2020, shows Metro Atlantans how they can make a difference in their community. 

The grassroots organization has served more than 100,000 people in four years, operating a free-choice market with fresh produce and other healthy foods with the support of local donors and volunteers.

Jennifer Barnes, Solidarity Sandy Springs co-founder and member of its board of directors, said the food pantry serves around 650 working families a week.

With the holiday season around the corner, she said most upcoming volunteer slots are full, but more help is needed in the first three months of next year.
