The Food Bank expanded its reach into the Georgia mountain region by opening a distribution warehouse and food processing center in Rabun County. The food hub was completed in 2017 and includes a production facility, flash freezing capabilities, teaching kitchen and food distribution center. The project created 35 full-time quality jobs and serves as a small business incubator for farmers by providing local food businesses with the space and equipment needed to produce marketable products… spurring economic development and combating hunger for the low-income and needy in the region.
