DeKalb High School Opens FREE Grocery Store For Students In Need

Via @ajcnews: A new public-private partnership in DeKalb County is aiming to support students and families facing food insecurity.

The city of Stonecrest has teamed up with Goodr—a company focused on delivering quality food to local communities—to launch *The Lion’s Den Grocery Store*, the first free grocery store within the DeKalb County School District.

With 41% of Black households in DeKalb struggling to meet basic needs, officials hope this initiative will serve as a national model for schools addressing hunger in their communities.
