Fifth Third Bank (Georgia) Launches Strike Out Hunger! Food Drive
As part of its on-going commitment to
the Atlanta area, Fifth Third Bank (Georgia) is going to bat with three local
baseball teams – the Augusta GreenJackets, the Gwinnett
Braves and the Kennesaw State University Owls – to launch Strike
Out Hunger! This community food drive will run from April 18 through
May 3 and is aimed at collecting enough products to feed 5,300 families in the
Atlanta Metro area.
Members of the
community are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items – such as canned
fruits and meats, peanut butter and boxed cereal – to participating Fifth Third Bank
financial centers. While supplies last, the bank will give baseball game
tickets to those who make a contribution to the food drive, courtesy of this
year’s generous partners.
