WILL YOU HELP FEED KIDS IN ATLANTA?
- My family decided to raise money this month for the Atlanta Community Food Bank. They feed local families that are struggling.
- Over the past year, the Food Bank served nearly 715,000 people struggling to provide food for themselves and their families. This year, thousands of children, families, and seniors will continue to turn to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.Your support matters.
- Every $1 helps provide 4 meals for our neighbors in need. I'm trying to raise just $250 which will provide 1000 meals for Atlanta residents. The fundraiser ends tomorrow.
- Will you help?
