Helping Atlanta Families Get Meals *UPDATED 4/20/2020*

Meal Distribution for County Public Schools including Food Pantries

By Cookie Suarez, Publisher, Macaroni Kid Buckhead-Midtown-Brookhaven March 18, 2020

There are enough uncertainties and anxieties about our new normal. We want to help our Macaroni Kid Community and families as much as we can.

For families who are in need of meal assistance for their students, we've created an easy way to help you locate places to go to in your designated school district. Use the interactive Google Map below to locate a place within your district for meal pick-ups. 

School districts and Food Pantries are color-coded. In addition to the distribution site address, please read the notes under each pin that specify the dates, times, and instructions for pick-up. You can Zoom-in and access directions for each location
