Eight hundred Atlanta families in need will receive enough food to supplement meals for a week plus daily essentials, thanks to a partnership between PepsiCo and Feed the Children. The event kicks off at 10:30a.m. at Turner Field in the Gold Lot, 755 Hank Aaron Drive Southeast, Atlanta.

This distribution event is part of a larger initiative between the two organizations to help feed communities in cities throughout the United States. Half of today's recipients are unable to leave their homes due to medical conditions, immobility, or other challenging circumstances, and will have their food and essentials delivered to their door via Frito-Lay's fleet of trucks.

This is the sixth annual event PepsiCo and Feed the Children have hosted in the Atlanta community, where more than 25 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, but the second year to utilize Frito-Lay's trucks for delivery.

The receiving families have been identified and preselected by nonprofit organizations Open Hand Atlanta, African American Association of Georgia and Meals on Wheels Atlanta.

Each qualifying recipient family will be given:

• One 25-pound box of nonperishable food items

• One 15-pound box of personal-care items

• One box of AVON products

• Disney books

• One 20-count Frito-Lay Snack Mix

• PepsiCo beverages

• Quaker Old Fashioned Oats

• Life Cereal

• Quaker Chewy Granola Bars

"We love being part of the Atlanta community and are proud to take part in this event year after year," said Scott Closson, zone sales director, south Georgia zone, PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division. "We wanted to reach out to our friends and neighbors who might often be left out of events like this due to their circumstances or lack of mobility. We're thrilled we can utilize our fleet of trucks to make these deliveries to hundreds of recipients in need who are often underserved."
