The Urban Food Movement is a nonprofit food rescue organization whose mission is to end hunger and food waste in the Greater Atlanta area. TUFM rescues healthy, nutritious surplus food that would otherwise be discarded by a network of supermarkets, grocery distributors, food banks, farmers, and small businesses — and redistributes it to individuals, families, children, seniors, and veterans in need.
In addition to food rescue and distribution, TUFM has built strong partnerships with local farmers, growers, and homesteaders to create a sustainable, community-centered food network. These collaborations not only help prevent waste but also provide opportunities for education, food justice advocacy, and community engagement.
Through workshops and initiatives focused on nutrition, meal planning, and food sustainability, TUFM empowers residents while supporting those who are often overlooked — including homebound seniors and underserved individuals. With no income, ID, or geographic requirements, TUFM is committed to inclusivity, equity, and building a connected, self-sustaining community through food.
