Big Thanks to Habif Arogeti & Wynne




We want to give a big thank you to Habif Arogeti & Wynne, where they filled 4 barrels for the Atlanta Community Food Bank last week. HA&W partners and employees contributed the following for the food drive:

179 canned goods
56 packages of noodles, rice, etc...
6 gallons of juice
6 boxes of cereal and
11 jars of peanut butter

This totaled up to 250 pounds of goods, which is the most we have collected from one company thus far. They also had several partners and employees participate in a volunteer night, where they went to the Food Bank and sorted 7,284 pounds of food. This equates to 4,856 meals for the community!
Thanks again HA&W!

Over Half Way There

This week we officially crossed the half way mark of our goal of 20 barrels.

Last week Bull Realty requested a barrel. Founded in 1998, Bull Realty is a privately owned commercial brokerage firm. Based in Atlanta, Ga., the company holds licenses and markets properties in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, West Virginia and Mississippi. The firm’s broker teams specialize in providing strategic solutions to help clients buy and sell office, retail, land, industrial, multi-family and medical properties. Bull Realty is well known for its innovative marketing platform, which uses technology and the Internet to create intense buyer demand locally, nationally and internationally.

This week Multicast Media Networks also accepted a barrel. Multicast is an expert in the delivery of live and on-demand video content over the Internet. They have powered online channels by presenting an integrated system for the management of digital content, program scheduling, merchandising, interactive video and audio-broadcast services, e-commerce, and precise measurement of user behavior and viewership. Serving over 1,000 customers around the world, Multicast has defined itself as an industry leader in delivering online video.

These next few months are the busiest time for the Food Bank. School is out and the need for food is present. We are hoping to deliver at least 9 more barrels and start collecting full barrels as soon as possible.
