Throughout the Metro-Atlanta Cities Wellbeing Initiative, the City of Atlanta utilized data to create an action plan aimed at addressing youth violence by improving access to essential needs for community members. To achieve this, the city partnered with The DEN at Jean Childs Young Middle School in Atlanta.
The DEN is an innovative on-site wraparound support initiative at the middle school. One example of the services provided through this initiative is grocery access for community members and students, facilitated through a partnership with Goodr Grocery, Inc.
