Feed a Billion and Atlanta Partners Provide Thanksgiving Meals for 1,000

Families

Feeding With A Purpose: Providing nutritious meals for girls in need around the world has been the
primary focus of Feed A Billion, but this Thanksgiving with help from Fulton County organizations
and individuals, the nonprofit was able to feed 1,000 families.

Atlanta, GA, November 27, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Leading up to Thanksgiving 2020 Feed A Billion, Fulton
County, Fulton County Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools, The Sutton Buckhead and countless
individuals came together to package and distribute 1,000 meal bags to families in need. The event, led by
Feed A Billion’s founder Dr. Ambuj Jain (AJ) was a celebration and learning experience about the
growth of food insecurity in the U.S. and around the world.

“We really believe that we are feeding with a purpose, and our Thanksgiving event’s purpose was to
prevent families in Atlanta from being more vulnerable to the difficulties of life during a pandemic. A
nutritious meal can make all the difference for people, especially children,” said AJ.

Food insecurity has been a growing problem for years, with more than one in eight people not knowing
where their next meal will come from. And when families are insecure about basic needs like food, it
means the decisions they are forced to make become much harder and people become more vulnerable.
Further, food insecurity means that those who exploit and prey on others who are vulnerable have more
opportunity to do so. By preventing that vulnerability Feed A Billion and partners are helping to ensure
that every child can live up to their full potential.

While helping to hand out turkeys and meal baskets, Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman
Rob Pitts commented, “I was honored to help hand out free food at the Feed A Billion food giveaway
today at Banneker High School. Fulton County was part of the partnership to give free turkeys, produce
and a Kroger gift card to people in need just in time for Thanksgiving!”

After seeing the great need presented at both locations during the event, Feed A Billion is committed to
organizing more food distribution efforts in the future with even greater resources and means of
dissemination.
