It was a morning well spent giving back to the community at the Home Plate Project food distribution at Newnan High School! 🥪📓

The Atlanta Braves and Chick-fil-A partnered with Newnan Athletics to provide fresh produce, protein boxes, and milk to over 300 families in our community.

Our team volunteered to prepare produce bags, label boxes, and load cars for the families who attended this morning. 🍎🚗

We appreciate the dedication of NHS, the Braves, and CFA in helping bring these much needed food supplies to Coweta County. Through compassion and collaboration, we’re making meaningful strides in addressing food insecurity within our community.

⚾️🥪 Happening Tomorrow! 🥪⚾️

The Atlanta Braves Foundation and Chick-fil-A will be at Newnan High School tomorrow, Friday, May 29th, from 11am-1pm for a FREE Community Food Drive!

The first 300 families will receive fresh produce, vegetables, and meats, along with hot Chick-fil-A sandwiches and chips. This event is completely free and designed to serve and support our community in a meaningful way. While supplies last.

We are grateful for the opportunity to volunteer tomorrow and hope to see you there! ♥️ Organizers of the event have asked everyone to share so the word spreads before tomorrow’s event!
