THE CURBSIDE HOT MEALS INITIATIVE 

Non-profits and local restaurants across Atlanta have come together to support health care providers and the affected families by providing hot meals, for just $5/ meal box. Sponsoring a meal box will help the families get food, the healthcare providers will get to eat hot meals, and it will give our local restaurants a chance to remain open. 


The Problem

As the world grapples with the existential threats of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the dramatically challenging impact has affected the Atlanta communities, restaurants, and businesses.

It's painful to see families and businesses suffer. Restaurants face the uncertainty of being able to stay open. Countless people continue to lose their jobs or deal with missed paychecks and pay cuts. 

As the Coronavirus cases rampantly increase across Georgia, nearly one out of six cases in the state of Georgia are from the Atlanta metro area. This causes a huge strain on our First Responders such as healthcare workers, firefighters, police force, etc. Our First Responders are heroes who are putting their health and well-being on the line for our community.  Let's work together to help our heroes and families in need.


The Funds

Our goal is to serve our Atlanta Community with 100% of the funds received to provide meals for the families in need and the First Responders.
