4 More Barrels Delivered

This was another good week for our project with the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Whether they are able to take a barrel right now or not, everyone that is responding has been very supportive.

Today I was able to deliver 3 barrels to EMCOR Services/Aircond, the largest commercial and industrial HVAC service company in the Southeast. They have been delivering HVAC solutions to businesses for more than 70 years. They have also made a goal of filling the barrels by June 5th.

JAS Forwarding USA, Inc. also joined our efforts to help the Food Bank by taking a barrel today. JAS is a leader in the freight forwarding market. Their objective is simple; deliver the client’s product safely and on time. Through this they have seen rapid growth and success, becoming a global corporation with more than 150 offices worldwide.

We are looking forward to even more progress next week!

We are delivering barrels

We made some great progress this week with our efforts to help the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Cooper Carry Inc., a successful and innovative architectural firm headquartered in Atlanta, is now participating in our efforts. I delivered a barrel to them on Thursday. 

We have also received great support from Georgia's largest independent certified public accounting and business advisory firm, Habif, Arogeti and Wynne, LLP. They will start filling four barrels early next week. 

This brings us to 5 barrels delivered and at least 15 more to go. 

First Calls for ACFB

This week was just the beginning of calls to help the Atlanta Community Food Bank. I have started by trying to reach out to HR Managers. After a lot of voicemails, I had a great conversation with someone at a large Healthcare Company. They are already big supporters of the Food Bank with monetary donations and employee volunteers. This was definitely an encouraging call to keep moving forward. I’m hoping to talk directly with several more managers next week and deliver our first barrels!

Accountants One is doing our part. We have a collection barrel located in our lobby for employees and candidates to bring in the donations for the Food Bank.
