BUILDING HEALTHIER FAMILIES THROUGH HEALTHCARE & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

At DFOWW Incorporated, we believe that access to nutritious food is an important part of building healthier communities. Through trusted partnerships with healthcare providers, we are able to help connect individuals and families experiencing food insecurity with fresh, nutritious foods that support overall health and well-being.

Earlier today, DFOWW Incorporated partnered with Growth Mindset Wellness PC in Stockbridge, Georgia, to host another community food distribution through our Write-Right Nutrition Program.

Together, we distributed a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, bakery items, beverages, meats, and other nutritious foods to help support individuals and families throughout our community.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Nurse Practitioner Tiffany Bates and the entire Growth Mindset Wellness PC team for their continued partnership, generosity, and commitment to serving our community. By opening their facility and working alongside our nonprofit organization, they are helping expand access to healthy food while strengthening the connection between healthcare and community wellness.

Strong community partnerships make a lasting difference. Together, we are improving food security, promoting healthier lifestyles, and helping build stronger families throughout South Metro Atlanta.

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to our generous food donors, dedicated volunteers, and community partners whose continued support makes this work possible. Together, we are helping ensure that nutritious food reaches individuals and families who need it most.

Together, we are building healthier families through nutrition, education, and community partnerships.

BUILDING HEALTHIER FAMILIES THROUGH NUTRITION EDUCATION & FOOD RECOVERY

📸 Please see the attached photos from our recent community food distributions. These photos represent more than donated food—they represent community partnerships, dedicated volunteers, nutrition education, and families working together to build healthier communities throughout Georgia.

Many people see photographs of donated food, diapers, household goods, and other essential products and mistakenly assume DFOWW Incorporated operates as an open public food giveaway or traditional food pantry.

That is not our mission.

DFOWW Incorporated's Write-Right Nutrition Program is an education-based food security program that combines nutrition literacy education with supplemental food assistance. Donated products are strategically used to support our charitable mission by serving registered program participants, nutrition education workshops, and trusted community partners who work alongside us to strengthen families throughout Georgia.

The donated food and products we recover through the generosity of Costco, Publix, and our other valued community partners are provided to DFOWW Incorporated at no cost. However, recovering, transporting, refrigerating, safely storing, organizing, and distributing these donations requires significant operational resources, including fuel, refrigeration, storage, insurance, volunteer coordination, educational materials, and many hours of dedicated service.

As a small, volunteer-operated nonprofit organization that receives no guaranteed government funding for these services, we invite households participating in the Write-Right Nutrition Program to make a suggested voluntary $20 Program Support Contribution to help sustain our nutrition education, food recovery, and community outreach efforts. This contribution supports our educational programs and operating expenses—it is not a payment for donated food.

Community support helps DFOWW Incorporated:

• Provide nutrition literacy workshops for families.
• Recover nutritious food that might otherwise go to waste.
• Supply supplemental food and essential household products to registered program participants.
• Support transportation, refrigeration, storage, insurance, and distribution expenses.
• Develop educational resources that promote healthier lifestyles, food security, and long-term family stability.

On Monday, July 6, 2026, DFOWW Incorporated hosted a food distribution for a local congregation. We sincerely thank our dedicated volunteers who helped recover, transport, organize, and distribute these donations.

We also extend our appreciation to everyone who assisted with our Friday, July 3, 2026, courtesy food distribution, which included high-quality protein and other nutritious foods for another local congregation.

Our next food distribution is scheduled for Thursday, July 9, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.

Interested in Participating?

To learn more about the Write-Right Nutrition Program, program eligibility, nutrition literacy workshops, supplemental food distribution opportunities, or how you can support our mission through a suggested voluntary $20 Program Support Contribution, please contact our office at (678) 977-9703 or email [email protected].

Our staff will be happy to explain the available participation opportunities and help determine which programs may best meet your household's needs.

Every volunteer, every community partnership, every donation, and every Program Support Contribution helps DFOWW Incorporated recover more nutritious food, reduce food waste, expand nutrition education, and strengthen families throughout Georgia.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Costco, Publix, Growth Mindset Wellness PC, our dedicated volunteers, community partners, donors, and supporters for helping make this work possible.

Education + Nutrition = Empowerment

DFOWW Incorporated's July 2026 Newsletter Is Now Available

We invite you to read the July 2026 edition of the DFOWW Incorporated Newsletter and learn more about how our organization is working to strengthen families and communities throughout Georgia through nutrition education, food recovery, wellness programming, and community partnerships.

Many people know DFOWW Incorporated for recovering and distributing nutritious food, but our mission extends far beyond providing supplemental groceries. We are an education-based food security organization committed to helping individuals and families build healthier, more self-sufficient lives through nutrition literacy, healthy eating, grocery budgeting, gardening education, hydration and wellness instruction, and practical life-skills training.

Inside this month's newsletter, you'll learn about:

• UV Safety Awareness Month and summer health tips
• Nutrition education and healthy living resources
• Community partner highlights and volunteer recognition
• Food recovery and community impact throughout Georgia
• Summer hydration and heat safety information
• Upcoming July activities and program updates
• Ways individuals, businesses, churches, healthcare providers, foundations, and community organizations can partner with and support DFOWW Incorporated

One of the most common misconceptions about nonprofit food recovery programs is that because donated food is free to receive, it is also free to recover and distribute. In reality, every food recovery requires fuel, transportation, refrigeration, freezer space, storage, insurance, equipment, volunteer coordination, and many hours of dedicated service.

A $20 Program Support Contribution per household is suggested to help sustain DFOWW Incorporated's education-based food security programs. These contributions directly support food recovery, transportation, refrigeration, storage, nutrition education, and community outreach throughout Georgia.

While the donated food itself is provided to DFOWW Incorporated at no cost, recovering, transporting, refrigerating, safely storing, organizing, and distributing these donations involves significant operational expenses.

DFOWW Incorporated is a small, volunteer-operated nonprofit organization that receives no guaranteed government funding for these services. Every Program Support Contribution, donation, sponsorship, volunteer hour, and community partnership helps us recover more nutritious food, reduce food waste, strengthen our nutrition education programs, and serve more families throughout Georgia.

We encourage you to take a few minutes to read our July newsletter and learn more about our unique education-based approach to improving nutrition literacy, promoting healthier lifestyles, strengthening food security, and building stronger communities.
