Baker discovered the hunger behind “vacancy” signs while volunteering at Norcross Cooperative Ministry a decade ago. A woman asked for food for three teenage sons. Baker noticed her hotel address on a form.
“That was the first clue that I had that a lot of people were living in hotels with kids,” she said.
It didn’t take Baker long to figure out that summer equaled no school-based breakfast and lunch for homeless children, and that families in hotels had limited means to prepare meals.
