Become a Never Alone Sponsor

For twenty years, Never Alone has been fighting hunger in Cherokee, Cobb, Bartow and Pickens counties. We are one of the largest pantries in Cherokee County, and we served 44,000 people in 2024 with 1.3 million pounds of food, yet the need is more than double what we have served. Providing both client choice food selection and remote distributions to our families, we need to expand our services, our impact and our outreach. Every dollar invested in Never Alone can buy $8 in food value with our strong partnership with Atlanta Community Food Bank.

We warmly invite you to join us in supporting the Shared Blessings Gala, an event dedicated to enriching lives throughout our community. Never Alone provides food for those who are hungry and connects them with social services to help them in their time of need. Your involvement as a sponsor is vital to our success. We have created several distinctive sponsorship levels to suit your giving goals and provide multi-platform recognition. Not able to attend? Please consider a donation to our matching fund, which will incent attendees to give more and double the impact! Please contact us at your convenience to confirm your sponsorship or for additional information. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and partnership.

If you prefer to donate with an In-Kind experience or item for our silent auction, we gratefully accept your donations. Email Nancy Triplett for information on how you can do so.
