Food Insecurity Resources

More than 500,000 of Georgia's children don't know where their next meal is coming from. See our factsheet here. And even more than that, many rely on the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program for low-cost or free lunches during the school year. During the summer, there are other programs that Georgia's most vulnerable children rely on for nutritious meals. That means any interruption can be devastating.    Click here to find your closest food bank.
