Concrete Jungle, an Atlanta-based nonprofit, recovers the abundance of ignored, fresh produce growing in our streets, yards and parks to meet health and nutrition needs of our homeless and food insecure population. Concrete Jungle began in 2009 as a volunteer-run organization and established itself as a 501(c)(3) in 2016. Since our founding, CJ has collected 177,136 pounds (708,543 servings) of fresh fruits and vegetables to distribute to local soup kitchens and food pantries.
