Officials within the City of Atlanta are continuing to make strides to address food insecurity, partnering with an Atlanta-based organization for a new food access installation. 

Goodr, a food waste reduction company, opened a free grocery store inside the William Walker Recreation Center in Southwest Atlanta.

These stores are usually located inside of city schools, making the William Walker store the first of its kind among the fifteen stores in the metro Atlanta area.
