Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed had a problem.
How do you feed thousands of stranded airline passengers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport with no electricity.
It turns out the answer was pretty simple: call Chick-fil-A.
Normally Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sundays so employees can attend church and spend time with their families.
But when the lights went out at the international airport — the mayor needed immediate help in feeding folks with no place to go. So he called Dan Cathy, the chief executive officer of Chick-fil-A.
Spokesperson Amanada Hannah tells me the famed, fast-food chicken restaurant quickly mobilized staff and team members who live near the airport.
“They are making sandwiches and delivering them to the emergency operations center,” she said. “City and airport officials there are distributing sandwiches to passengers who are stranded due to the power outage.”

At least you are doing some good!!!! Hardly see any politician do any good unless he or she is making millions off of it...
This isn't the only time Chick-fil-A has done something like this.
Whats funny (actually sad) is you never hear the other chains (McD, BK, Wend) step up and do this.
Chick fil a does it again. Well done!
Merry Christmas 💚🎄❤️
you can always depend on the Christian owned and operated businesses to come through. You know the ones most of the government doesnt like other than our President.
Love the chicken, love that everyone gets a day off every week(unless in an emergency), and I especially loved the show of support communities across the country gave to this business a few years back when it came under political attack from the loony liberals!
Hobby Lobby came too and gave out coloring books and Crayons.
The Christian's responded.
McDonald's said they were down to their last $100 billion and couldn't afford any charity.
