Acworth Police Department had a shortage of N95
respirator masks. Freedom Church became aware
of the need for masks to keep patrol officers safe after a
conversation with Chief Wayne Dennard. On March 20,
they presented Chief Dennard with 100 masks for the
officers.
Marietta’s School Nutrition and Transportation
Departments developed a plan to deliver food to
their students at 81 specific stops across 18 different routes
throughout the district. A healthy lunch and a snack will
be delivered each day until school is back in session.
During the first two-week closure, 39,842 meals were
served. For more information, visit

The Marietta Museum of History decided to donate
gloves and masks their team normally wears when
handling artifacts to the Marietta Police Department, as
they are in urgent need. If you would like to help, please
contact Tanya Twaddell from the Marietta Police
Department at TTwaddellWmariettaga.gov or Tim
Milligan from Marietta Fire Department at

In an effort to help the many at-risk students and their
families who do not have enough food during the
closing of schools due to the coronavirus, MUST
Ministries has coordinated a MUST FOOD Rapid
Response program. They are distributing food at three
pantries and helping every week to distribute meals for
Cobb County School District. 3,500 family food boxes
were distributed in the first three days. For more
information, visitmustministries.org/must-food-rapidresponse.
The Y is working with the Atlanta Community Food
Bank to expand food pantries at several branches
and offer food distribution to the community. They have
developed a childcare program for emergency responders.
Working with healthcare partners, the Y will provide
childcare for those who don’t have the option to work
remotely, including medical professionals and emergency
response workers.
