David Weekley Homes Issues Call for Donations During Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive

ATLANTA - Oct. 31, 2023 - PRLog -- A leader in volunteer and philanthropic efforts within the home building industry, award-winning David Weekley Homes hosts a national "Giving Thanks, Giving Back" Thanksgiving Drive in its 19 markets throughout the U.S. annually. Today, its Atlanta Division issued a call for donations and announced the list of drop-off locations for this year's food collection event from November 1-17. David Weekley Homes – Atlanta has partnered with Making A Way Housing and HomeAid Atlanta to distribute those donations to families in need in time for Thanksgiving

"As a company, we take pride in 'Building Dreams. Enhancing Lives.' for the homeowners we serve," said Adam Cornett, Atlanta Division President for David Weekley Homes. "However, it is never lost on us that home ownership is not guaranteed for everyone, and food insecurity continues to plague our neighbors in need. Our hearts go out to these families, so our calls go out to Atlantans to help us put a full spread out on their Thanksgiving tables. Since the need has increased, we want our donations to follow suit. We hope to beat last year's numbers, which included 878 pounds of canned foods, 1,277 pounds of non-perishable pastas and mixes, and 3,276 pounds of frozen turkeys. With the help of caring and compassionate Atlantans, we know we can do it!"
