Northwest Exterminating Teams Up with GPCA to Help Fight Hunger in Atlanta

Northwest Exterminating’s Good Deed Team joined the Georgia Pest Control Association
(GPCA) on December 4 for GPCA Gives at the Atlanta Community Food Bank, and their
impact was felt far beyond the walls of the warehouse.

Nearly a dozen Northwest teammates came together to pack more than 8,000 pounds of
food, ultimately helping feed over 7,000 families across metro Atlanta. Teammates were
assigned to the Community Food Center station, where they filled hundreds of boxes with
meat, fresh produce, dairy products, and snacks—essentials that bring comfort and
stability to families facing food insecurity.

What made the day even more meaningful was the spirit teammates brought to the task.
There was plenty of laughter as teammates shared how much fun it was to take part in this
kind of community outreach. Many said it felt good to directly contribute to work that
makes such an immediate difference.

The Atlanta Food Bank staff issued a fun challenge: pack every box needed to fulfill the
day’s Amazon delivery orders. Northwest teammates didn’t hesitate; they embraced the
challenge with energy and teamwork and beat the deadline. Once all boxes were packed,
the group braved cold, rainy weather to meet drivers outside and help load vehicles. Their
willingness to go the extra mile showcased the heart of Northwest’s culture.

The Atlanta Community Food Bank partners with more than 700 community-based
nonprofit food distribution organizations across Metro Atlanta. Families may visit
Community Food Centers to pick up food, and upon arrival, they are asked a few questions
to determine whether they qualify for additional food assistance programs. The support
these centers provide is essential, helping families access nutritious food during difficult
times.

At Northwest Exterminating, serving the community is part of our DNA. Taking part in GPCA
Gives was not just an act of service; it was an honor. Our teammates were proud to support
the mission of the Atlanta Community Food Bank to end hunger, uplift communities, and
bring hope to families in need.
