Jeremy Lewis, former Northside Drive member and executive director of our missions partner Urban Recipe, shared the organization's most recent newsletter, The Cookbook, this week. It is filled with exciting news about the amazing work Urban Recipe has been able to accomplish during the pandemic to help families in need.
Amid the 2020 quarantine and in partnership with Woodward Academy, Urban Recipe launched a logistical, revolutionary food-distribution program that led to the distribution of 818,741 pounds of food, valued at more than $1.42 million. They also launched a mobile pantry distribution program (in partnership with eight organizations) and added two new food co-ops during the pandemic. In August 2020, the organization moved into a new facility, growing from a space of about 2,000 square feet to nearly 20,000 square feet. The move increased distribution, storage and office space more than could have been imagined. Their new address is 970 Jefferson Street NW, Suite 7, Atlanta, GA 30318. The phone number remains the same at (404) 688-0871.
Jeremy notes that it has been some time since they could invite people to visit the facility in person, and he is happy now to encourage individuals to visit and volunteer. To find out more about the great things happening at Urban Recipe, read their newsletter.
Thank you for your continuing support of the missions program at Northside Drive.
Nancy Hall-Shelton, Mission Chair
