What I Care Atlanta, Inc. does

I Care Atlanta, Inc., operating as I Care America, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2008 and headquartered in Doraville, Georgia. The organization's stated mission is to stabilize lives and prevent food insecurity among Georgia residents, with a particular focus on the approximately 1-in-4 Georgia children experiencing food insecurity. It serves food-insecure individuals and families who lack access to adequate food, primarily driven by unaffordable housing and limited employment opportunities in urban areas such as Atlanta.

The organization delivers services through a dual distribution model: an in-house pantry that accepts food drop-off donations, and mobile food distribution units that deliver groceries and cooked foods directly to communities across Georgia. In addition to direct food provision, it offers emergency and crisis prevention services that connect clients to broader community resources. Programs are funded entirely through donations — monetary gifts (e.g., $15 feeds a Georgia family for one week), in-kind food donations, charitable property donations, and volunteer time — with no fees charged to beneficiaries.

Revenue is generated through a donation-based, non-transactional model. Monetary donations flow via third-party platforms including Kindest and Network for Good, while in-kind food is sourced through corporate sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Kroger, Publix, Starbucks, and Trader Joe's, supplemented by community and strategic partners including Atlanta Community Ministries (ACOG). The organization operates with a small staff of 7 employees and serves the Southeast USA market.
