Free sack lunches will be available for anyone in need at The Guiding Light Baptist Church everyday from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. for the remainder of the summer.
Volunteers from inside and outside of the congregation came Tuesday to help.
"We are all doing this as God's children," Nancy Brandt said.
The volunteers began handing out lunches Monday and plan to continue until school starts up again in August. On the first day, they served 18 people. They hope to get the word out to more people.
To receive a lunch, anyone can drive up to the church at 1023 Westminster Avenue in Fulton and drive up to the back door.
On day two, volunteers helped put together lunches containing a sandwich with cheese and either turkey or ham, as well as snacks and a drink.
"There's a need in this community, and we do have hungry people," Teralyn Williams said.
Volunteers also made several deliveries to families with limited transportation options - young helpers Greyson Gillette, 11, Nailah Gillette, 9, and Jayceon Howell, 7, came along for deliveries Tuesday.
"Man plans and God unplans," Kaye Stroter said of the pandemic.
Like everyone, the volunteers gathered at Guiding Light each lunchtime are worried about COVID-19 - everyone wore a mask, and a system was set up so visitors can get a meal without having to come inside.
"We won't solve all the world's problems, we won't solve all of Fulton's problems, but we'll do what we can," Pastor Charles Jackson said.
Brandt spoke of how COVID-19 has impacted the community, from the schools to small businesses. She called Jackson an inspiration for the community.
During a typical summer, churches all over Fulton hold Vacation Bible School programs, coordinating to make sure the programs are held on different weeks so children can go to more than one, Stroter said. Many of those programs were canceled this year.
Jackson said Guiding Light usually puts on a summer reading program, something they weren't able to do due to the pandemic.
The idea to serve lunches came to him when he was shopping. Jackson said he saw a couple of children looking at chips, trying to figure out which they could afford - that image stuck with him.
"How many young kids are out there fending for themselves?" Jackson said. "That's what really got me thinking about this."
