Ella’s Gospelfest Was Once again Amazing!
On June 22, the Georgia Avenue Food Cooperative put on an annual fundraising Gospelfest. Many missed it! But many came and and we had a rocking good time--and raised some funds for the co-ops to boot--about $700 do far.
You may have heard of the “Five Blind Boys of Alabama.” What you see above is our “Three Blind Women of Georgia.” Pictured from left are Dot Jones, Jeanette Harkley, and Virginia Berringer. Jeannette and Virginia are members of Co-op #3 and together with Dot they sing as “The Faith Walkers.” They put themselves to considerable effort to get out to sing for our food co-ops, and their faithfulness paid off. They were wonderful.
If you did not get a chance to come to our Gospelfest or to donate, you can do so by doing to our “Make a Donation” page. It is a very simple matter to make a contribution to keep our food co-ops active in this difficutl economy. Thank you for your help--we appreciate it.
GACM expresses its appreciation for the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Without ACFB, we could not do our work. ACFB services hundreds of organizations providing millions of pounds of food each year to N. Georgia and beyond, providing food at 16 cents a pound. Our hat is off to Bill Bolling, executive director, Rob Johnson, chief operating officer, and all of their fine staff. acfb.org
