Financial services professionals across the greater Atlanta area are helping put dollars to good use with the first-ever Food for All fundraiser to benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The fundraising competition raised $46,510 to support the Food Bank and its mission of fighting hunger in metro Atlanta and north Georgia, providing enough food for 186,000 meals. Since the global pandemic, the Food Bank has seen significant increases in need for its services and has been working with various community and government partners to continue providing access to nutritious meals for food insecure neighbors.
The seven Founding Teams that participated in the inaugural Food for All event included BlackRock, Voya Financial, Homrich Berg, CFA Society Atlanta, Bank of America Private Bank, CI Brightworth, and CIBC Private Wealth Management.
Trevor Neumann, COO of BlackRock Atlanta Innovation Hub and Food Bank Advisory Board and Food for All Task Force member said, “In support of the Food Bank’s critical mission to end hunger in Atlanta, we are thrilled to collaborate with the local financial services community as a founding member of the Atlanta Community Food Bank’s inaugural Food for All fundraising competition. We look forward to building on this year’s success by growing the Food for All competition in the years to come.”
Throughout the year, the Atlanta Community Food Bank connects more than 715,000 people with healthy and nutritious food. The organization also works with more than 700 nonprofit partners to help fight food insecurity in the communities they serve.
