Organizers behind the Smyrna Hot Meals program are expanding the city’s effort to feed less fortunate families during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Smyrna has teamed up with Atkins Park Restaurant partner and executive chef Rusty Hamlin and Smyrna United Methodist Church's Tillman House to help families facing hardships due to the pandemic's affect on their lives.
The initiative for the past two weeks has made 150 meals available for pickup each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Tillman House.
Smyrna this week said the effort now includes two additional restaurants, Zucca Pizzeria and Wade’s, and seeks to serve 350 meals per day “to meet the needs of families in Smyrna.”

•Tillman House, 940 Concord Road.
