Alessandra Ferrera-Miller is calling her “All for Lunch” nonprofit’s decision to give more than $100,000 to metro Atlanta schools so families would not go into the holiday season with outstanding school lunch debt only the beginning in the group’s outreach, according to a recent report by FOX 5 Atlanta.
This comes as the Food Resource and Action Center reports that school lunch reduces food insecurity, improves children's dietary intake and positively impacts their health.
During the month of December, the "All for Lunch" nonprofit picked up the tab for $130,000 in lunch debt across several metro areas, including Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, Forsyth and Barrow counties, FOX 5 said.
Back in 2018, Ferrera-Miller commenced waging her campaign of paying off school lunch debt, starting off with four schools at $500 at a time and building from there as she noticed the impact of her efforts.
Now, Ferrera- Miller has gone on record with FOX 5 that she wants to ensure the help she provides to the students and schools in need lasts, even though financial circumstances tend to change for the lunch programs.
