Concrete Jungle Atlanta
Concrete Jungle is an Atlanta-based nonprofit that rescues fresh fruits and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste and gives them to people who are hungry. Volunteers pick fruit from backyards, parks, and farms, and the group also grows vegetables on its own small urban farm. Each year it distributes about 1 million pounds of produce to food pantries and soup kitchens across Georgia.
