Community Service organizations collaborate on 5 th Annual Thanksgiving Initiative with the International Academy of Smyrna
The 5 th Annual Thanksgiving Holiday Initiative, in partnership with the International Academy of Smyrna, was held on Tuesday November 18 th and Wednesday November 19 th at the school. The purpose of the initiative was to address food insecurities and to sponsor 70 Cobb County families who were experiencing challenges during the thanksgiving holiday. Each family signed up in advance for food support through the International Academy of Smyrna. The Henry Arthur Callis Education Foundation and a group of community stakeholders were all very supportive of this 5 th annual initiative and helped to provide all food items associated with a thanksgiving holiday meal.
Several community stakeholders were especially supportive in making this initiative a holiday blessing for Cobb County families including Youth To Men mentees and parents, The Pearl Foundation through Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Future Business Leaders at Campbell High School, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc, and the Cobb County Friendship Club.
