12-Month impact:
A look into the heart of StreetWise
What makes StreetWise Special?
Is it it's standing as the
2nd Largest
food bank
in Gwinnett County?
and the
4th Largest
of
770 Agencies
in the Atlanta Community Food Bank network?
impressive — but no.
...is the volume at which StreetWise serves?
The
1,919,908 pounds
of food distributed to clients — which equals 1,599,922 MEALS
the more than
15,000
clients served
through its dignity shopping (client-choice) market
the
44,495
articles of clothing provided
How about the
3,095
Working Families
who attended the Thursday night Working Families Pantry
or the
324 families
who attended the Christmas Food Pantry
This impact is immense, but that’s not the most special part of StreetWise.
Maybe it's the variety of people touched by StreetWise's work
42,000+
individuals in 12,000+ families
12,000+
children
(not including the 1,200 families served through seven Title I school events)
58
teens who regularly attended TeenWise@StreetWise events
widows who meet for events and programs and
4,300+ seniors
who have their very own food delivery program through StreetWise!
Surely the most important part is the
dozens of families
who graduate from StreetWise’s program and become self-sufficient.
As celebration-worthy as this is, that’s not it either.
could it be the partnerships and people who make StreetWise possible?
After all, more than 70 corporate donors support StreetWise financially and through supplies for events — including food retailers and the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Not to mention, 69 nonprofits partnered with StreetWise for events and dozens of churches support its work.
That’s especially notable when you remember that everything StreetWise does is through JUST 7 STAFF and an army of volunteers —
that is, 39,751 hours of volunteer work (with an estimated value of over $1.3 million)
and the average weekday volunteer is 71 years old.
What about the $6.1 million in value of food and supply donations, not to mention monetary support, given to StreetWise?
Is it the more than 74,447 views & engagements through StreetWise’s social media accounts?
That must be it… right?
Even their incredible blessings aren't what makes StreetWise Special.
It’s how StreetWise budgets for prayer — and trusts God to show up in it, even dedicating a portion of the building to a chapel.
It’s that StreetWise meets — both staff and volunteers — every day for prayer time.
It’s that every client at every event StreetWise hosts is offered prayer.
It’s the modern-day miracle of Jesus’ work multiplying the fish and loaves. And it’s only possible through a very big, very generous God.
As a result of HIS work, tens of thousands of prayers have been lifted up, thousands have heard the gospel and
80

80 Individuals
have accepted Jesus as their Savior
Hallelujah!
For all this and more, we celebrate all God has done and is doing at StreetWise
Thank YOU for being a part of it.
Let’s continue the mission in 2026 and watch God move in even greater ways.
