Free food for children, teens given in Cobb library parking lots
Children and teens, ages 18 and younger, can receive meals for breakfast and lunch during July at parking lots of certain Cobb County Public Library locations at various times and days.
Cobb Public Library and Georgia Educational Resources staff continue to host free Summer Food Service Program distribution events at local libraries.
Children and teens, ages 18 and younger, receive seven days of breakfast and lunch emergency meals on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
Distributions are held in library parking lots at six locations around the county.
Recipients must remain in their cars.
Libraries hosting food events in July include:
- Switzer Library, 266 Roswell St., Marietta at 10 a.m. to noon Thursdays through July 29
