Woman Delivers Meals To Those In Need: Atlanta Hero

ATLANTA, GA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Amel Alyamani who nominated her client Andrea Jaron of Atlanta:

Name: Andrea Jaron

State:GA

Home town: Atlanta

Hero's job: Other

If other, job: Executive Director of Second Helpings Atlanta, a food rescue & logistics organization

Relationship to nominee: Client

Reason for recognition: As many experience intense food insecurity this summer, Andrea and her team at Second Helpings launched an initiative, Atlanta Community Kitchen Project, to deliver over hundreds of thousands of meals to those experiencing hunger.

One thing to know: Andrea works extremely hard to be part of the solution, knowing there are so many hungry and food-insecure people in our community.

Thank you for all you do, Andrea!
