Delta funding helps Clayton County nonprofit strengthen food delivery services
With support from Delta, The Online Food Pantry Mobile Food Market is expanding its efforts to fight food insecurity across metro Atlanta, using new grant funding to replace a delivery van lost to a fire and add refrigeration capabilities for transporting fresh food.
A Clayton County nonprofit that delivers food directly to Georgia families in need is expanding its ability to serve the community, with support from Delta.
Since its founding in 2018 by CEO Frederick West, The Online Food Pantry Mobile Food Market has helped more than 80,000 people access food assistance by recovering surplus food from local partners and delivering it to residents across six metro Atlanta counties.
When the organization's delivery van, a critical part of its operation, was destroyed by fire earlier this year, the Delta Air Lines Clayton County Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta provided a $25,000 grant to help purchase a replacement vehicle and restore delivery services.
“Delta’s generous donation came at a critical moment for The Online Food Pantry," said West. "Their support didn't just help us replace a vehicle — it helped us restore hope, maintain our ability to serve our community, and continue making sure that food reaches those who need it most.”
During a recent food delivery with West, it became clear that the new van also needed refrigeration to safely transport fresh produce, meat and other perishable items. To help meet that need, an additional $35,000 grant was awarded to install a refrigeration system and support operating expenses.
“Since the Delta Air Lines Clayton County Charitable Fund was established last year, we've worked closely with Delta to help direct resources to organizations making a real difference in Clayton County,” said Daniel Lewis, philanthropic advisor at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. “This is a great example of that partnership in action.”
Delta and The Delta Air Lines Foundation support 22 food banks in cities and regions across the globe to help fight hunger and food insecurity all year long, investing more than $1.8 million through corporate funding and grants in 2026 alone.
