BGCMA Offers Food Support For Club Families

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta is grateful to have the support of so many businesses and organizations during these critical time of need. Because of their support, we are able to help keep our kids and their families fed while our physical doors are temporarily closed. There's no way we could do what we do without their acts of kindness.

Through our partnership with Camp Southern Grounds, this week, we will be distributing 600 meals at our Warren and East DeKalb Clubs. This summer, Camp Southern Grounds will provide more than 10,000 meals to support our Club kids and the community, including fresh produce from their gardens. We are grateful for Camp Southern Grounds efforts to provide food for the Metro Atlanta community.

From our ongoing partnership with Souper Jenny, the organization will continue to give, including an additional 100 quarts of fresh soup for this week. Since the temporary closing of our Clubs, Souper Jenny has given 900 quarts of soup.

As summer commences and our Club kids finish the school year, Papa John’s will be providing pop-up pizza parties to celebrate the launch of BGCMA’s Virtual Club. Papa John’s continues to support our Club kids.

Between the next two weeks, Arden’s Garden will be donating 300 juices and 120 shooters to six of our Clubs.

As if that all of this isn’t enough, Smart Mouth Foods will be making and donating 270 personal pizzas from their food truck at our Barksdale Boys & Girls Club tomorrow.
