Drive-Thru Food Drive
Thank you, Georgia, for your generosity!
On June 12, Atlanta Gas Light invited the public to join our efforts to help curb the escalation of food insecurity in communities due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We partnered with local agencies to collect food donations in 14 communities across the state.
Together with our employees, your donations to our Drive-Thur Food Drive provided 37,254 meals to support communities facing hunger across Atlanta, Augusta, Athens, Macon and Savannah.
