Clayton County Schools and the Atlanta Community Food Bank are partnering again to help feed those who are hungry.

The food organization and district will operate a pantry from 4 p.m-6 p.m. Friday at Forest Park Middle School and another from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday at West Clayton Elementary School. A third pantry will operate from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. Thursday at Riverdale Elementary School.

The school system said in a new release that it plans to offer pantry operations at other schools in the future, but has not confirmed dates and times.

The organization and the school system worked together early in the pandemic to help families in need of food after classes switched to remote learning and buildings were closed last academic year.
