One in 5 Georgians are food-insecure, a statistic the Georgia Mountain Food Bank hopes to improve. The food bank will hold its annual Empty Bowl lunch, a community fundraiser to address hunger, health and quality of life, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at First Baptist Church on Green Street in Gainesville. The lunch will include a soup and salad menu prepared by Master Chef Derin Moore from Performance Food Group in Oakwood and remarks from Georgia’s First Lady Sandra Deal, according to Katie Dubnik, Georgia Mountain Food Bank board president.
