WoodmenLife^® is now a Leadership Partner with Feeding America^®, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. This alignment of like-minded, national organizations means big things right here in Georgia.

WoodmenLife and its members have been committed to fighting food insecurity for many years, cementing that dedication in 2015, when fighting hunger became their National Community Focus. Now that work together is expanding, following the success of a campaign using WoodmenLife Impact^®, the organization’s online fundraising tool, which delivered $1.06 million to Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund.

WoodmenLife worked together with Feeding America to direct these funds to specific areas of need. One of those areas was Georgia, where the Middle Georgia Food Bank, Golden Harvest Food Bank, Atlanta Community Food Bank, Food Bank of NE Georgia, and Second Harvest of South Georgia received a total of $136,399.

Countless members and groups in this area rallied around the WoodmenLife Impact campaign, and now they can see the benefits of their generosity close to home. This is an extension of other work WoodmenLife has done to fight hunger locally — collecting 86,657 pounds of food and $88,170 for food banks in the state since 2015.

 “At WoodmenLife, we believe no one should worry about where their next meal will come from,” said Regional Director Garret Emerson. “Feeding America’s work for more than 40 million people each year is a lifeline our country can’t live without right now, and we’re honored to be able to work alongside them.”
