Insurance Professionals Rally Together in a Friendly Showdown to Combat Food Insecurity in Atlanta
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Metro Atlanta’s insurance professionals have rallied together for the Atlanta Community Food Bank’s first-ever Food Actually fundraising competition, raising funds to provide 30,540 meals for individuals and families facing food insecurity. This two-week initiative brought together members of the insurance industry for a friendly yet impactful competition. Through their participation, local professionals have made a significant contribution to the fight against hunger, with all proceeds supporting the Food Bank and its network of nonprofit partners across the community.“Throughout the year, area professionals across industries join us in our fight to end hunger through friendly and impactful fundraising initiatives.
