Our associates at Antares Group, Inc. donated money to purchase Thanksgiving meal ingredients and the firm provided provided turkeys for the 15 families living at Phoenix Pass, a nonprofit organization based in Conyers, Ga., that provides transitional housing to women and their children experiencing temporary homelessness. The program provides participants the opportunity to reestablish self-sufficiency in a residential setting by providing supportive services and the resources to recover and rebuild a productive, stable lifestyle for themselves and their children.
The meal baskets were delivered to Phoenix Pass the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, where they were placed in the meeting room to surprise the ladies when they arrived for a class later in the day.
Employees at Sparkmon & Associates, CPAs, got trashed recently. About 20 staff members took some time out of their day Friday, May 19, to hit the roadsides along Iris Drive and Salem Gate Road to pick up litter and debris. More than 30 bags of trash were collected in about an hour’s time, with everything from Styrofoam containers, discarded fast food bags, cups, bottles and even a metal pipe and a work boot.
Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful helped in the effort by supplying vests and gloves for Sparkmon employees.
