About Neighbors for
Schools, Inc.

Neighbors for Schools, Inc. supports Metro Atlanta Schools by helping reduce meal debt and prevent students from receiving alternate meals. When families struggle to pay, districts often absorb the cost to protect students from stigma, a practice that creates financial strain. We partner with schools to support dignity-centered meal practices and ensure every student receives a real meal.
