ATLANTA — Another free, full-service grocery store for students is coming to a Georgia school. Atlanta-based nonprofit Goodr and Amazon are opening a store inside Alcovy High School in Covington on Nov. 18.
The on-campus market will provide monthly access to fresh produce, proteins, and household staples at no cost to eligible students and their families.
The new, free grocery store comes at a time when more than 1.4 million Georgians remain affected by uncertainty surrounding SNAP benefits.
