Augusta Georgia is a typical Southern city. Its people are friendly, proud and excited to tell you about their city. When COVID-19 hit the community, Augusta faced the challenge of ensuring members of its community could continue to have at least three meals a day.

To solve this challenge, the mayor turned to partners. Hear how he secured 25,000 meals to help his community.
