Metro Atlanta church distributed 1K boxes of free food on Easter weekend

STONECREST, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A metro Atlanta church joined a food bank and an Atlanta-based phone and technology company for a pop-up to give away 1,000 boxes of free food and 1,000 free tablets on Easter Weekend.

New Birth Missionary Baptist Church will be at the former Sam’s Club parking lot on Turner Hill Road in Stonecrest from 10 a.m. and goes until Noon or until supplies run out, officials said.

Officials add that 1,000 tablets will also be handed out for free by Atlanta-based Moolah Wireless. Moolah Wireless was created more than a year ago and Moolah Mobile began in 2016, according to CEO Vernell Woods.

Officials said the tablets will be inclusive of 12 months of internet access for eligible individuals provided by Moolah Wireless.

“We are beyond excited to welcome members, families, neighbors, and visitors to New Birth this Easter weekend as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and embrace our community through celebrations in and outside the four walls of our sanctuary,” said Senior Pastor Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant. “It’s an essential role of the church to touch and impact lives throughout the year, not just on special occasions. I’m thrilled by our unwavering and ongoing work through The King’s Table that has fed over a million families and counting over the last three years.”

It’s also planning random acts of kindness at nearby pop-up locations and local businesses in the area.
