Feed a Billion and Fulton County Partners Provide Meals for 1,000 Families During Holidays

Atlanta, GA, December 02, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Feeding With Purpose

Leading up to Thanksgiving 2021 Feed A Billion, Fulton County, Fulton County Schools, Atlanta Public Schools, MaYapinion LLC Consulting, Southwest Food Service Excellence, LLC and countless individuals came together to package and distribute more than 1,000 meal bags to families in need. The event, led by Feed A Billion, was an opportunity to assist Fulton County Schools and Atlanta Public Schools in keeping their students healthy and nourished during the holiday week.

“By creating a partnership between nonprofit, government and private sectors we were able to help 1,000 families have a Thanksgiving meal together, as a family. This demonstrates that together we can solve big problems in our communities,” said Feed A Billion’s Founder Dr. Ambuj (AJ) Jain.

Food insecurity has been a growing problem for years, with more than one in five people not knowing where all their meals will come from this week, and that includes children. During the Thanksgiving week many children were out of school, placing the burden of extra meals on parents and guardians. By providing nutritious meals that could feed an entire family, Feed A Billion and partners helped relieve that burden for the holiday week.

While helping to hand out turkeys and produce bags, Feed A Billion’s Executive Director Dr. Nicole Roberts commented, “A nutritious meal can make all the difference in a child’s ability to grow, learn and feel safe and secure. With our partners in Georgia we were able to ensure families could focus on making memories and not worry about missing meals while away from school.”

After the success of providing meals in tandem with so many community partners in multiple locations, Feed A Billion is committed to continue the work started by this effort to ensure children in need get the nutrition they need to live up to their full potential.
