Serving people experiencing food and housing insecurity in Atlanta, Food4Lives team has been serving fresh meals since the lockdown in March 2020. To mark 200 consecutive days of service, F4L began a fundraiser for 200 sleeping bags, led by Veena Koppula. They reached their goal of $2000 through donations by Atlanta community, some of whom donated sleeping bags as well.
