Wednesday, Noon) APS to Unveil New Goodr Grocery Store at District’s Student & Family Support Hub
Goodr, in partnership with the College Football Playoff Foundation (CFP Foundation), with support from the City of Atlanta, Mayor Andre Dickens’ Year of the Youth initiative, the Atlanta Sports Council, and the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, is proud to announce the launch of a new Goodr Grocery Store housed within the Atlanta Public Schools Student & Family Support Hub.
Goodr, and CFP Foundation will open the new market with an on-location ribbon-cutting ceremony where Mayor Andre Dickens and leadership from Goodr, CFP Foundation, and APS will offer remarks. The launch event will also include tours of the new market and remarks on this new solution’s impact on food insecurity in Atlanta and beyond. Attending media are invited to tour the market and engage with first-time shoppers after the opening ceremony.
According to the latest USDA food insecurity report, one in four families with children in metro Atlanta are food insecure, which is known to affect educational outcomes. The new Goodr Grocery Store at the Student & Family Support Hub will provide hundreds of APS students and their families with free nutritious grocery essentials in an environment of dignity during the calendar school year.
Innovative resources like this one have a positive impact on the entire school community. They decrease the stress surrounding food insecurity and increase positive education outcomes for both students and their teachers.
