Giving Back - 4th Quarter

For this quarter we are splitting the donation between two worth causes: Camp Joint Venture and Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Camp Joint-Venture is a two-day overnight summer camp for Georgia children between the ages of six to 18 who have been diagnosed with rheumatic disease (arthritis). I had the pleasure to be the photographer at the camp this year. These kids are amazing and inspirational.
The goal of camp is to provide the opportunity to participate in normal childhood activities in a summer camp setting, Camp Twin Lakes. The main focus is taken off the child’s medical needs, and placed instead on the psychosocial and developmental needs. Campers are offered the excitement and fun of traditional summer camp activities. They are also offered the unique advantage of being in an environment cared for by staff who are responsive to their special medical needs.

The Atlanta Community Food Bank is the oldest and largest hunger-relief organization in the Southeast and serves more than 800 nonprofit partner agencies. More Georgians than ever are turning to food banks for help in these tough economic times. And unfortunately, the demand is higher than the supply right now.
Partner agencies help the Food Bank provide hundreds of thousands of meals and groceries to low-income people in Metro Atlanta and throughout North Georgia. Currently the Food Bank serves over 800 nonprofit partner agencies. These nonprofit organizations range from churches, synagogues and mosques to child care centers and nursing homes. Each organization has access to the Food Bank's inventory, educational programs, technical assistance and materials.
