Families Thrive Food Distribution Project

💙 The Mission

During these challenging times as SNAP benefits are paused, Girls Inc. of Greater Atlanta is stepping up for our community. We know that when families face food insecurity, it impacts health, confidence, and the ability to thrive. That’s why we launched the Families Thrive Food Distribution Project — to ensure youth and their families have access to quality food when it’s needed most.
