Today, the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm have jointly announced this year’s Million Meal Pack initiative, which will take place on Saturday, September 21st at th
e award-winning State Farm Arena. The Million Meal Pack is the team’s largest service initiative of the year, which will require the largest number of volunteers ever with availability for 6,000 volunteers to help assemble one million meals throughout the day. These meals will have a direct impact in local Atlanta communities as they are distributed throughout the metro area with the operational support of U.S.
As part of this one-day initiative, the Hawks and State Farm are asking employee and community groups, schools, churches, sororities, fraternities, and local businesses, along with individuals ages five and up to register for one or more shifts on Saturday, Sept. 21.
The food assembly will require five 90-minute meal-packing shifts with approximately 1,200 volunteers as part of each shift to reach the target number of meals. The meals from the event will be a nutritious, shelf-stable, dried Jambalaya mix that yields six servings when prepared. The Hawks and State Farm have previously hosted three Million Meal Pack events, in 2023, 2022 and 2019. In those three years, the two organizations have rallied more than 15,000 volunteers packing more than 3.1 million meals.
