You still have time to contribute to DeKalb County’s food drive in conjunction with National Poverty Awareness Month and Valentine’s Day. 

Commissioner Kathie Gannon has organized the food drive on behalf of the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

DeKalb employees  and residents are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items through Valentine’s Day.

Every week 58,000 families in metro Atlanta upon food donations from the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

“DeKalb County has a commitment to public service and I am certain we can respond to the needs of the most needy” Gannon said. Residents of DeKalb County are also encouraged to participate.
