"My family and I choose to live in Vinings because of the outstanding quality of life. Vinings is a wonderful place to raise children, get to know your neighbors, and is close to attractions and events across Metro Atlanta. We’ve lived in Vinings since 2013. I live here with my wife, Cleo, daughters, Ally and Andi, and our cat, Frisco. Wholesome Wave Georgia works across Metro Atlanta and our state so that all Georgians in need can eat more fresh, healthy, locally-grown food. Our nonprofit connects Georgians who receive food stamps with farmers' markets and local farms to buy more fresh, healthy, locally-grown food by offering a purchasing incentive. Through the support of committed individuals and generous foundations, we’re able to double food stamp benefits for Georgians in need allowing families to eat more fresh, healthy, locally-grown food. We’ve seen demand for our programs explode since COVID-19 struck Georgia. To learn more about our work, please visit our website at wholesomewavegeorgia.org to help our neighbors in need."
