🚨 Summer Feeding Site Update 🚨 We’ve had to make a quick change to one of our summer feeding locations! Due to renovations at the Dollar General on Browns Bridge Road, we've moved the meal site to New Hope Baptist Church, located at 1273 New Hope Church Rd. The store's parking lot is currently unsafe for children to access meals safely, and the safety of our students always comes first. 🍽️ The same great meals will still be available—just at a new (and safer) location! Thank you for your understanding and please help us spread the word!

During the summer months away from school, children must have access to healthy meals, safe environments, books and educational opportunities so they can keep learning. GeorgiaSummer.org brings together free tools to help kids thrive this summer. Check it out online today!
