Mercedes-Benz USA and Atlanta Falcons Running Back Bijan Robinson Join Forces with Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta to Fight Childhood Hunger

In celebration of National Volunteer Week (April 21-25, 2025), Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) and Atlanta Falcons Running Back Bijan Robinson teamed up with nonprofit Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta to provide essential food supplies and complete meals to Atlanta-based children facing food insecurity. Many students rely on subsidized school meals to receive proper nutrition throughout the week, leading them to face hunger on the weekends – an issue that can lead to difficulties learning, low self-esteem, delayed social and physical development and more. Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta works to bridge the gap for students who don’t have access to nutritious food on the weekends and holidays, enabling the kids to focus, learn and fully thrive outside of the classroom.
