On October 21, 2011, Madison Apartment Group’s seven Atlanta apartment communities participated in the 24th Annual Atlanta Apartment Association Food-A-Thon. The event delivered more than 100,566 pounds of food and $693,604 to The Atlanta Community Food Bank.

For three month leading up to the Food-A-Thon, Madison’s Atlanta communities worked to gather donations. In total, the following communities were able to donate 1300 non-perishable food items to the event.

• Madison at the Arbors
• Madison at Breckinridge
• Madison at the Knolls
• Madison Vinings Ridge
• Madison at Waterford
• The Crossings at Wood Bridge
• The Crossings at Wood Station

We would like to thank our management teams and the residents in Atlanta who contributed to the success of this food drive!

Founded in 1979, the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) currently distributes nearly two million pounds of food and other donated grocery items each month to more than 700 nonprofit partner agencies in 38 counties in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. ACFB supports a wide range of people in need, from children to the working poor. Food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters and senior centers are among the agencies that receive product from the Food Bank and provide food and other critical resources for low-income Georgians who suffer from hunger and food insecurity. The Food Bank also operates several community projects to aid our agencies in community building, technical assistance and advocacy efforts.
