To continue the New Years resolution theme I traveled to Atlanta to photograph volunteers making healthy and nutritious meals at Project Open Hand. The non-profit cooks, prepares and packages 6,500 ready to eat meals for the elderly and those with severe illnesses in the metro area daily. Thousands of volunteers donate their time to help in Project Open Hand’s kitchen.
