With Thanksgiving coming up, it's not unusual to see a lot of turkey giveaways and other food drives to help low-income families have a full holiday meal.
But because some families in Atlanta are having trouble accessing the resources they need, there is also a growing need for daily meals.
The good news is that there are a lot of food banks and pantries around the area that can help people get by. It can be a little hard to figure out how to get around, though. Here are some resources that can help you find your way.
