Atlanta Public Schools students and families can now find free groceries at a Goodr store in the APS Student and Family Support Hub in Southwest Atlanta.

The grocery store saw its first few shoppers at an unveiling event Wednesday. Hunger relief company Goodr, in partnership with the City of Atlanta’s ATL Year of the Youth initiative, the Atlanta Football Host Committee and College Football Playoff Foundation, created the grocery store to support families in the school district living with food insecurity.
