Atlanta, GA -- Atlantic Relocation Systems of Atlanta, an Atlas agent, demonstrated their patriotism and charitable benevolence this holiday season by holding a holiday food drive to benefit local veterans. Through the company's food collection efforts, they were able to collect more than 700 pounds of food -- that's nearly 600 meals! -- for the Veterans Empowerment Organization (VEO) of Atlanta. The VEO provides housing, meals, counseling, training, and provides medical and dental attention to displaced military veterans and their families.
Knowing that they needed dedicated members of the community in order to collect as much food as possible, Mary Fowler of Atlantic Relocation Systems reached out the the Atlanta Area Senior Citizen Network Niche (ASCNN). She spoke at their monthly meeting in November, inspiring the network to join Atlantic Relocation Systems in their quest to help feed their local veterans. Fowler handed out more than 100 food collection bags at the meeting and beseeched the group to help her collect as many donations as possible. To her delight, the group returned with more than 500 pounds of food at their meeting the following month!
In addition to the food from ASCNN, Atlantic Relocation Systems collected an additional 3 boxes of food, bringing their grand total to nearly 750 lbs for the VEO!!
