This past week, our Macon team came together with one goal in mind – to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. Equipped with a spirit of service and a deep sense of community, they assembled to-go food containers to support homeless individuals in our area. For us, this effort wasn’t just about handing out meals; it was about showing our neighbors that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.
The response was both humbling and heartwarming. Knowing how much even a single meal can mean to someone facing hard times reminded all of us why giving back is so vital. We saw firsthand the weight that kindness can lift and the hope it can inspire. What’s more, the teamwork and shared purpose that went into every step of the process reinforced our commitment to the Good Deed Team spirit – a culture of going above and beyond for others. It’s these small, thoughtful acts that ripple outward, creating more caring and connected communities.
For our Macon team, this was just one step in a larger commitment to doing good. To everyone who supported this effort, thank you for being part of something that matters. Together, we can continue to build a brighter, kinder future, one meal – and one good deed – at a time.

The Christmas season is a time for giving, and our LaGrange team embraced the holiday spirit with heartfelt efforts to make a positive impact in the community. This past December, the team came together to sponsor both a family and a child for Christmas, ensuring their holidays were filled with joy and warmth. Their generosity didn’t stop there—they also rang the bell for the Salvation Army at Walmart, spreading cheer while supporting a cause that helps so many in need.
We had teammates contribute to the festive spirit by donating two toys to Toys for Tots, bringing smiles to children who might otherwise go without. Each team member played a vital role in creating a memorable and meaningful Christmas for others.
The LaGrange team’s dedication to giving back reflects our commitment to strengthening the communities we serve. Their efforts this holiday season are an inspiring reminder of what’s possible when we come together to spread kindness and joy. We are grateful for their compassion and look forward to more opportunities to give back in the years to come.

Last December, our Chattanooga team had the honor of participating in Wreaths Across Chattanooga, a local effort tied to the national Wreaths Across America initiative. Dedicated to remembering and honoring the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, this initiative brought volunteers together to place wreaths on the graves of fallen soldiers at the Chattanooga National Cemetery.
The Wreaths Across Chattanooga team set a remarkable goal this year – to place 49,000 wreaths with the support of 3,000 volunteers. Our Northwest Chattanooga team was humbled to play even a small role in this meaningful endeavor. Witnessing the transformation of the cemetery into a sea of remembrance, with each wreath a beacon of honor, was a deeply moving experience. It reaffirmed the power of collective effort and how, together, we can create moments that matter not just for today, but for generations to come.
Participating in Wreaths Across Chattanooga has been a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by so many for the freedoms we enjoy. For our team, it was an opportunity to give back and honor those who served with courage and dedication. We are proud to have joined hundreds of others this year to continue this tradition of reflection and gratitude. Visit here if you wish to be involved in the 2025 (and future) holiday seasons of Wreaths Across Chattanooga.

This past holiday season, the Buford Service Center had the privilege of bringing joy and holiday cheer to children in our local community by donating filled stockings to the local Housing Authority. Each stocking, carefully prepared and packed with thoughtfulness, represented more than just a holiday gift—it reflected our commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others. This act of kindness aligns perfectly with our service standard, “Make a Difference,” which encourages us to approach our work and community involvement with a servant’s heart.
The initiative showcases how small, intentional acts of care can create a ripple effect of goodwill. By contributing these stockings, we didn’t just meet a holiday need—we reinforced the values we hold dear as an organization. Serving others is at the core of what we do, and this project allowed our Buford team to extend our care beyond daily operations and into the heart of our community. It’s moments like these that remind us of the profound power of compassion and generosity.
At Northwest, we believe in putting people first, whether it’s our customers, team members, or those in our community. Giving back is not merely something we do—it’s a reflection of who we are. The smiles and gratitude from the families we served inspire us to continue looking for ways to lead with purpose and uplift those around us. By coming together for this simple yet impactful gesture, we strengthened our connection to the community and reaffirmed our dedication to making a meaningful difference.

This past December, our Acworth team proudly continued our annual tradition of spreading holiday cheer. We were honored to support Turnaround Kids Ministries, a foster home with a special Christmas donation. This year, we gifted tickets for the children to visit Pettit Creek Farms, where they could enjoy dazzling Christmas lights, meet animals, and savor festive treats like hot chocolate and s’mores. Along with the tickets, we included a gift card, hoping to bring moments of joy to the children and their caregivers.
Giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do. Knowing that these children could create some magical holiday memories means so much to us. Turnaround Kids Ministries continues to inspire with its dedication to providing a warm and supportive environment, and we are grateful to play even a small role in bringing a little extra joy to their holiday season.
We hope the kids had a wonderful time at Pettit Creek Farms, and we are looking forward to seeing photos from their visit. If we receive any pictures, we’d be excited to share their smiles as a reminder of the true spirit of giving. Supporting incredible organizations like Turnaround Kids Ministries is a tradition we cherish, and we look forward to continuing it in years ahead.
