Community Breakfast Recap

Here is a portion of an article from The Atlanta Journal & Constitution (March 7, 2011) regarding our free breakfast:
Two Groups Fight Hunger Problem
By Devika Rao
For the AJC

“There has been a rise of homelessness and the working poor who are unable to provide meals for their children or themselves,” said Renee Campbell –Williams, Director of The Roswell North Fulton Community Coalition, of the increase in demand for food for families and individuals.

Doing its part, The Roswell North Fulton Community Coalition served breakfast to nearly 600 families, double from 2010, on Feb. 26 at the 2nd Annual Roswell Community Breakfast at Cross Roads Second Chance North in Roswell.

“Our requests and demands were increasing in [the Roswell] community. This year, we got great business partners such as Farmland Foods, Starbucks [Coffee Co.], and Chick-Fil-A Inc., and so many more that we can really provide a great meal to everyone who comes,” said Campbell-Williams of the growing event. With over 15 sponsors, the group also provided sack lunches to the families who came.

Volunteering for the coalition, the youth group of Roswell Community Church helped combat hunger locally and globally while they served meals and completed a 30-hour fast to raise money and awareness for World Vision, a leading program in combating childhood hunger in the U.S. and overseas.
