Food bank donation by AKMG Georgia chapter

It was a real pleasure for Akmg Georgia chapter to present a check for $4037 to the Atlanta Food Bank today. Many Thanks to all our generous donors who made this possible. We hope to have more participation next year and years to come. It was not a huge amount but when you think this amount will feed a meal for over 16000 less fortunate people, it makes us feel good as part of our community. Thank you AKMG. Have a wonderful New Year!
