BROOKHAVEN, Ga. - Those in Brookhaven struggling to meet needs during the pandemic will get a boost on Friday with the opening of a new community food pantry.
The city of Brookhaven teamed with the Latin American Association in the new endeavor created to assist those living along the Buford Highway corridor and the greater community. Brookhaven pitched in a $25,000 grant for the LAA to renovate and open the location. We’ve seen since the start of the pandemic that many families are experiencing food insecurity, and it continues into 2021, said Santiago Marquez, CEO of the LAA. With the new food pantry, we are able to have a larger food capacity and provide more families with food.
