When was the last time you missed a meal? Not because you didn’t have time to eat before rushing out the door, or because you knew you would be having a large meal later in the day, but because you had no food. When was the last time your son or daughter had to go to bed with little or no food? Not because he or she wasn’t hungry, or feeling well, but because you had no food.

Snellville – Viewed from 10,000 feet above, Snellville appears to be no different than the thousands of other towns that punctuate the surface of the United States of America. At ground level, it appears much the same. The view encompasses houses, businesses, streets, highways, parks, shopping centers, and depending on the time of day, slow moving traffic. Although the individual character and physical attributes change from town to town, the base elements are the same.
