Welcome to the Foxwood Food Center! Located on Wilcox Blvd. in East Chattanooga, Foxwood is our grocery-style food pantry. We are open Monday-Thursday 9am-4pm and Friday 9am-12pm.

We are celebrating 5 YEARS of Foxwood this month, so stay tuned for more on that!

Haven't heard of our Foxwood Food Center? Here's what to expect. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by one of our bilingual staff members, and then a volunteer will help you through the grocery-store-style setup and take your cart out to your car. In addition to a box of pantry staples, families can choose the foods they know and love. Fruit and veggies. Meat. Milk. Bread. Eggs. Snacks. And more. Seasonally, we often have fresh produce from the garden at our main warehouse, or produce donated from other local farms and gardens.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

The Chattanooga Area Food Bank team is ready for Corporate Challenge this Saturday! Think grown up field-day on steroids. We'll be competing against 11 other local businesses and non-profits in our category in this revolutionary corporate team building event and we can't wait!

FRESH, LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE. 🧅 Our warehouse is full of fresh, locally grown produce thanks to the Georgia Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA)* grant! These are local products from our surrounding states, sourced by The Common Market in Atlanta and shipped to us. Each case actually has the farm name and location listed so our partners know exactly where it came from!

*The Georgia LFPA grant aims to support socially disadvantaged agricultural producers by purchasing Georgia-grown products and distributing them to underserved communities. The program is funded by the USDA and utilizes $23.6 million in funding to enhance local food systems and ensure fresh, nutritious food reaches rural and remote areas.
