Atlantic Outreach Incorporated

Aog's food program combats food insecurity by providing consistent access to nutritious food and essential household items. As one of the few food pantries open five days per week, the program served over 31,000 individuals in 2024. The pet pantry, operating under this program, provided food and supplies for more than 2,200 pets, distributing over 9,700 pounds of food. Aog added a full-time pet pantry coordinator, expanded volunteer opportunities, and launched pet kit assembly projects for individuals and corporate partners. The organization's upcoming move to a 25,000-square-foot facility will expand storage and improve efficiency to meet growing community demand.

Holiday helping hands (hhh) is an annual community holiday event that provides gifts, toys, food, and essential resources to families and children in need. The event engages local volunteers and community partners to support families experiencing hardship during the holiday season. In 2024, over 700 volunteers contributed more than 21,000 hours across aog programs. Aog also hosted international overdose awareness day, which brought together over 300 community members for education, remembrance, and connection to prevention resources. These initiatives demonstrate aog's commitment to collaboration, transparency, and inclusive community engagement.
