ATLANTA — 11Alive and The Salvation Army of Metro Atlanta invite the community to join in for the 42nd anniversary of the 11Alive Holiday Can-A-Thon.
To participate, start collecting canned goods and non-perishable food items this fall. Then, on Friday, Dec. 6, drop off your donations at one of five convenient locations in metro Atlanta: Cobb, Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb or Fayette counties:
- Salvation Army of Gwinnett County (Gwinnett): 3455 Sugarloaf Parkway, Lawrenceville
- Salvation Army of Marietta (Cobb): 202 Waterman Street, SE, Marietta
- Salvation Army Kroc Center (Fulton): 967 Dewey Street, Atlanta
- Salvation Army Peachcrest (Dekalb): 3500 Sherrydale Lane, Decatur
- Trilith Town (Fayette): Trilith Parkway, Fayetteville
Each year, there are a handful of schools who join our efforts by delivering canned goods they have collected to one of our drop-off locations. This year, there will be a special incentive for even more schools to get involved. We have added three friendly competitions for schools to participate in to see which schools can collect the most cans; which school creates the most creative can-struction; and which students share the the most heartfelt "why I give" message.
