Food Well Alliance and the Atlanta Regional Commission announced Chattahoochee Hills and Palmetto as the awardees for the 2026 Local Food System Plan, with a $100,000 grant for each city.

Food Well Alliance: We are connecting organizations that are working to make metro Atlanta's local food system resilient, including production, processing, distribution, consumption and recovery.
The creation of Food Well Alliance was made possible through funding from the founding benefactor, the James M. Cox Foundation, and through the vision of Jim Kennedy—Chairman Emeritus of Cox Enterprises and Chairman of the James M. Cox Foundation—and Bill Bolling, founder of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Together, they saw an opportunity to build healthier communities across metro Atlanta by supporting and connecting members of our local food movement. Today, we support more than 300 community gardens, urban farms, and orchards in the Atlanta region.
Food Well Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Tax ID: 47-4363668
