  • Deliver Love and Compassion logo
  • Open Hand began in 1988 when a group of friends stepped up to support their friends who were disenfranchised by HIV/AIDS, many of whom were in the LGBTQ+ community. The compassion and service of the LGBTQ+ community laid the foundation for who Open Hand is today, and are the reason our first ingredient has always been love. 

    It is this love and strength that has allowed Open Hand to expand our mission and grow into the largest community-based provider of home-delivered meals and nutrition services in the Southeast. Though we’re now able to serve even more of our at-risk neighbors, we still stand proudly with the Atlanta LGBTQ+ community, and are honored to continue to serve them to this day.

    This Pride Month, support Open Hand's incredible foundation of courage and kindness by giving a gift today. Together, we will ensure that Georgians are able to live the healthy, happy, dignified lives they deserve.

For 35 years, we have provided delicious, nourishing meals and nutrition education to thousands of people who are home-bound or too sick to cook for themselves. We’re honored to serve seniors, children and families, and our neighbors who are at risk for or have a disability or medical illness.
