Chick-fil-A employees and volunteers in New Holland spent Wednesday morning making 10,000 meals of red lentil jambalaya, but don’t look for it on the menu. To celebrate the opening of the new location on Jesse Jewell Parkway in the growing area of Gainesville, owner/operator Bobby Shoemaker worked with Feeding Children Everywhere to buy and bag 10,000 meals that were donated to the Georgia Mountain Food Bank. The bags have a shelf life of two years, according to Steve Mueller, operations director of the food bank, and represent between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds of food.
