Doraville City Council approves grants to relieve hunger crisis
The Doraville City Council this week unanimously approved two grants to help relieve hunger throughout the city. Doraville will be partnering with I Care Atlanta and Cross-Cultural Ministries to provide targeted relief to communities in the city where need is greatest, according to a press release. I Care Atlanta will receive $15,000 and Cross-Cultural Ministries will receive $20,400. These grants will help feed hundreds of families in Doraville over the winter.
“The pandemic has been a difficult time for many families, with many people in the service industry having to make tough decisions about whether to pay for rent or food,” said Mayor Joseph Geierman. “The City of Doraville is pleased to be able to partner with I Care Atlanta and Cross-Cultural Ministries to help alleviate some of this pain.”
Cross-Cultural Ministries “enables and empowers disadvantaged children, youth and adults through educational and discipleship programs in community-based centers in partnership with individuals, churches and organizations.” I Care Atlanta is a “501(c)3 non-profit organization devoted to stabilizing lives and preventing homelessness by feeding the food insecure through the provision of groceries, cooked foods and linking clients to resources and emergency assistance.”
