Founded in 1979, ACFB procures over 35 million pounds of food and groceries each year and distributes it to more than 600 nonprofit partner agencies serving families and individuals in 29 metro Atlanta and north Georgia counties.

ACFB utilizes more than 1,000 volunteers a month, over 100 staff members, a large fleet of trucks and a 129,000 square-foot facility to procure and distribute food and grocery items received from hundreds of donors. Our donors include manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, brokers, restaurants, food drives, gardens and individuals. The product is easily accessed by our partner agencies. They place their orders online and arrange for pick up or delivery. Once the food arrives at the agency, it is provided to families and individuals in need.

Join in the cause (like Genesis and Juneau) and sign up for your volunteer shift today by going to acfb.org!

Genesis Elevator is proud to announce that we have once again been nominated for the Cobb County Chamber and the AJC Small Business of the year award!!

About the Small Business of the Year Awards

The Cobb Chamber of Commerce began the Small Business of the Year awards in 1982 to honor the important role that small businesses play in the Cobb community and the economy. Starting in 2004 the Cobb Chamber of Commerce honored a Top 25 to showcase more of these exceptional companies that make Cobb County a great place to live, work and play.

Nominations are accepted annually, giving the community a chance to recognize its favorite small businesses. After being nominated, each company competes a thorough application based on the Small Business Administration standards. The application covers company information, growth, community involvement, employee benefits and adversity among other criteria. An independent panel of judges composed of business and community leaders reviews the applications and the Top 25 are selected. The Small Business of the Year winner is selected from among the Top 25, and participates in the state small business of the year competition. More updates to come!!!

Paces is located on prestigious West Paces Ferry Road in the heart of Buckhead, Atlanta’s uptown district.
