Atlanta & Beyond

Blue Seeds

What started as a small nonprofit in a north Atlanta neighborhood has quickly grown into something

much larger. Today, the work of Bagel Rescue volunteers can be found in 12 Atlanta area counties, totaling

60 neighborhoods. Over the years, as the number of our Donor and Recipient Partners has grown, so have we! Bagel Rescue can now be found in other cities in Georgia including Brunswick, on the coast, and Athens, home to the University of Georgia. And in 2025, Bagel Rescue moved beyond Georgia, reaching into several other eastern cities. You can now find our volunteers rescuing in Raleigh and Nashville, and as far north as Alexandria, Virginia. 

Leadership in Your City

Bagel Rescue is currently seeking passionate Hunger Relief Warriors (also known as Captains) to create

and lead food rescue efforts in their city. With support from our Atlanta-based team, Bagel Rescue Captains

will develop Donor and Recipient Agency partnerships and lead a team of volunteers in weekly rescue

and delivery routes.

 

If you are a natural born leader, and if you’re interested in setting up your own Bagel Rescue chapter,

let’s connect!

Who We Are

Bagel Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization supporting hunger relief by connecting restaurants with excess food–specifically bagels and baked goods–to neighbors in need. What started as one small pickup in Atlanta has grown to over 60 neighborhoods in 12 counties in the metro area and it has expanded into new cities across the Southeast. Through generous donations from local bakeries, volunteers deliver bagels to food pantries, shelters, feeding programs, and community outreach efforts. Our goal is to reduce food waste and support hunger relief, one bagel at a time.
