The first five-hundred people who donate a minimum of five non-perishable food items still in date will receive $10 in coupons for food at the 2023 Georgia National Fair.

You can bring your donations to the Georgia Grown Pavilion at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter on Saturday, September 9th from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Donors are asked to bring canned goods, low sodium options, kids snacks like pop tarts or fruit cups, pasta, rice or protein bars. Glass containers will not be accepted.
