Schools in Atlanta - and across the country - had to transform their meal programs overnight. Many loaded school buses with food and delivered them so students wouldn’t go hungry.

The coronavirus pandemic was a crisis for everyone, especially families struggling to make ends meet. Today, 1 in 6 kids in the United States may still be living with hunger.

John P. Dessereau, who painted this mural, spoke to kids in Queens about the past year: "They want an emergence from the darkness of the pandemic. They see the Queensboro Bridge as a powerful metaphor for coming out of these dark times.”
