The Georgia Pest Control Association (GPCA) partnered in a service project at the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) on Dec. 4, 2025.
Over 40 people representing 10 member companies, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and the GPCA staff sorted and packed food as a giving back opportunity. The team prepared over 16,500 pounds of food to be delivered to food banks and other outreach stations throughout the state, providing support for those dealing with food insecurity.
The service project is one of many recent initiatives from the GPCA. Previous projects have included:
- GPCA PestVets coat drive: run in collaboration with the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program, the GPCA has collected thousands of coats for Veterans across the yearslong partnership.
- Partnership with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which thus far has raised over $1 million for cancer research efforts.
- Hosting meetings for Pi Chi Omega, the professional fraternity for the structural pest control industry.
