ATLANTA - A series of free pop-up grocery events launches today in metro Atlanta, aiming to tackle food insecurity in underserved communities with fresh food, health screenings, and education — all at no cost to participants.
What we know:
The initiative, now in its fourth year, is a partnership between Atlanta-based food distribution nonprofit Goodr and Wellstar Health System. Together, they will host markets throughout the region, offering up to 20,000 pounds of nutritious groceries at each location.
In addition to food distribution, the events provide free health screenings, nutrition education, and other forms of community care designed to support long-term wellness.
The first event kicks off today in Griffin at New Mercy Baptist Church, located on Park Road.
