Nearly 65 percent of Georgia’s students receive free and reduced meals. Of those, only 15 percent supplement those meals in the summer, meaning 85 percent go without when schools shut their doors.
Thanks to a $1.4 million funding grant from the Arby’s Foundation, it’s an issue officials at the Georgia Food Bank Association believe they can to overcome.
The association will operate more than 1,000 sites where children can get access to at least one free meal this summer.
