The GHD Southeast YP Holiday Food Fund Drive is back for a 6th year! We hope to support more families who rely on the three selected regional food banks by giving back to our local communities.

This is a month-long Fund Drive, from October 30th through December 1st. This year we have chosen to donate to food banks in regions of that GHD is focusing efforts of strategic growth, with clients and the surrounding communities. At the end of the giving month, funds will be split equally between the following three Food Bank locations:

So Others May Eat (SOME) - Washington, DC
Feeding South Florida - Miami, FL
Feeding Families of Alabama - Hartselle, AL

Lunchtime Trivia: Join virtually for some lunch time trivia fun on November 14th!

Day of Service: We encourage you to volunteer amongst your local offices during the week of November 16th through November 22nd. Please reach out to your YP office lead for additional information.

Three Raffle Prizes: Each person who donates will be entered in a raffle for exciting prizes. The raffle will be held during the celebration lunch on December 11th!

Principal & Associate Challenge: When you donate you will be asked to choose a "gift to fund". This is where you get to donate towards a regional Principal or Associate! When donations close on December 1st, the two Principals and/or Associates with the largest amount of donations will have to complete a fun challenge, also during the celebration lunch on December 11th. Each winner will be given a make-believe product by the YP Co-Chairs, which they will have to provide a blind SharkTank style pitch of the product during our Celebration Lunch.

Celebration Lunch: On December 11th virtually tune in to live to find out how much was raised, hear raffle prize announcements, and see your Principal or Associate complete their challenge. Holiday attire is encouraged!

Meet your Principals and Associates! This group has volunteered to be part of our Fund Drive challenge, and who doesn't like some friendly competition?!
