ATLANTA - GeorgiaChron -- As part of an annual nationwide initiative that has been in place since 2005, David Weekley Homes' Atlanta Division has kicked off its Giving Thanks, Giving Back Thanksgiving Drive. The builder invites Georgians to join them in making this holiday season more bountiful for individuals in need by "stuffing" its communities with donations. Now through November 15, the award-winning homebuilder will collect non-perishable food items at five of its active communities, which span from Flowery Branch to Canton. On the final day of the drive, David Weekley Homes will collect frozen turkeys at its Atlanta Division Office. The 2024 Giving Thanks, Giving Back drive will benefit St. Vincent de Paul Georgia - the oldest, largest, and most trusted statewide social services safety net organization in Georgia with an aim of providing help and hope to neighbors in need.

"The spirit of giving is a foundational principle at David Weekley Homes," said Adam Cornett, Atlanta Division President for David Weekley Homes. "So much so that we have our own foundation – the Dovetail Impact Foundation. We are committed to being a leader in volunteer and philanthropic efforts within the home building industry. We are improving lives through the efforts of our CARE program – which includes our Thanksgiving Drive, Back-to-School Supplies Drive, blood drives, an annual Build Day for a local nonprofit, and other initiatives through our long-standing partnership with HomeAid Atlanta. We're delighted to team up with St. Vincent de Paul Georgia this Thanksgiving. In addition to the nonperishables and turkeys we collect, we will gift $10,000 to help St. Vincent de Paul enhance the pantry at its main service center in Chamblee with appliances and security features."
