Results of 2nd Annual Georgia Accounting Food Fight

The Georgia Society of CPAs (GSCPA) and the Georgia Food Bank Association are pleased to announce the results of the second annual Georgia Accounting Food Fight. During the friendly, two-week competition, accounting firms and industry accounting departments statewide raised food and funds for Georgia's eight regional food banks.

The competition took place Aug. 17-28. Since its inception in 2014, the Georgia Accounting Food Fight has collectively raised $197,260 and 21,237 pounds of food.

"Our profession has a strong and proud culture of giving back. Participating in this annual food and fund drive competition is a great opportunity for accountants to help their neighbors in need."

The second annual Georgia Accounting Food Fight raised 11,376 pounds of food and $100,006. As a result of these donations, more than 400,000 meals can be provided so families, seniors and children won’t go hungry. This year, 55 accounting firms in 22 cities raised food and funds for their regional food banks.

"Many families in Georgia struggle to put food on their table. The Georgia Accounting Food Fight is our chance to make a difference and use our one voice to give hope to so many in need."
