ATLANTA — Atlanta Public Schools will be doing Saturday meal distribution tomorrow in a new effort to provide seven-day meal kit pop-up pickup locations on the weekends.
In a release, the district said that the meal kits would be available to children ages 1-18 at the Hightower Station Shopping Center parking lot.
The shopping center is located at 2636 Martin Luther King Dr. SW in Atlanta's Westhaven neighborhood, near the H.E. Holmes MARTA station. Meals will be distributed from 10:30 a.m. until noon.
According to the district, parents and guardians may pick up one meal kit per child. The APS website says they contain seven breakfasts and seven lunches per meal kit.
