As a former civil and criminal litigator in the state of Michigan who graduated from the University of Michigan Law school in the top ten percent of his class, once Frederick Toca Jr. moved from Detroit Michigan to in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2006 he transfered much of the passion that he had exhibited in the coutrooms of Michigan to giving back to his local Atlanta community, Since he moved to Georgia, Frederick Toca Jr has started a community garden to feed the hungry in South West Atlanta, started a feeding program that visited and feed homeless men in Atlanta's Bankhead area, opened a food pantry at his Church and initiated a feeding program at 7 Bridges in Smyrna. Currently Frederick Toca, Jr.. supports organizations such as Covenant House and the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
The Atlanta Community Food Bank recognizes that more than 20 percent of Georgia children live in a food-insecure household. In addition to providing food assistance through more than 600 community organizations, the Greater Atlanta Food Bank operates education and outreach programs focused on the relationship between poverty and hunger.
The Hunger 101 curriculum, developed in collaboration with Emory University's School of Public Health in the early 1990s, continues to educate corporate entities and public schools about hunger as a public health issue. Additionally, the curriculum has since been adopted by many other food banks in the Feeding America food bank system.
