Food for the Forgotten

The Organization

We are an organization created to serve the community through the distribution of warm meals to those less fortunate in the Metropolitan Atlanta area. Our organization is entirely funded and operated by the community at the Georgia Institute of Technology, including the student body, faculty, support staff, and alumni.
 
We believe that for too long, the homeless have been considered second hand citizens and that they brought their ill fate onto themselves, and it is our goal to reverse this biased and untrue stigma. Through the distribution of food and offering of career counseling services at a safe location for all involved, we will be able to bridge the gap between ourselves and those less fortunate, and to ensure that the homeless are never Forgotten again.

Organization Founder

I am currently a first year Business Administration major at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and am proud to call the city of Atlanta my home. Since I was a child, I was taught you need to respect others so that you may too be respected, and I abide by this rule every day. I have always believed in giving back to the community, and have been involved with domestic and international organizations aimed at bettering the world we live in, through hurricane and tsunami relief with the American Red Cross, Feed the Children and the ONE campaign in Africa.

I am currently at Georgia Tech getting a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering. I am in the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps and upon graduation, I will be an officer in the United States Air Force. I have a large compassion for less fortunate people and would like to help motivated and dedicated individuals to become successful.

I am a first year at Georgia Tech trying to obtain a degree in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. I have always enjoyed getting involved in the community. I couldn't think of a better way to try to help out my current community here in Atlanta than through this organization.

I was born and raised in Huntingdon Valley, a small town outside of Philadelphia and am currently a freshman at the Georgia Institute of Technology.  I plan to receive my bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering in the Spring of 2015.  In the past, I have helped to feed the homeless by participating in The Sunday B Mission with my youth group where I would help to run a worship service and feed lunch to the homeless in the Philadelphia area.
