This holiday season, our Northwest family came together to make spirits bright for the children at Atlanta Inner City Ministry. Teammates from our Jasper and Commercial Pest – Tucker service centers, and Team Support Center teammates partnered with AIM Atlanta to serve breakfast for dinner, cookies, hot chocolate, and smiles to over 50 kids in our community. It was a joyful experience filled with connection, laughter, and plenty of holiday cheer.
Our Good Deed Team Co-Director, Kristen, led the charge in cookie decorating. While our other Co-Director, Greg, worked on making sure the breakfast for dinner hit all the marks. With a warm cup of hot chocolate in hand and holiday music in the background, the kids enjoyed every moment, creating memories they’ll cherish for years to come.
We’re grateful to AIM Atlanta for allowing us to be a part of such a special evening. At Northwest, we believe that giving back is at the heart of what we do, and this event was a reminder of the power of small acts of kindness. To everyone who participated—thank you for showing the true spirit of the season!

As the season of giving begins, the Northwest Region 1 teams from Anniston, Jasper, Opelika, Homewood, Newnan, LaGrange, Carrollton, Columbus, and Cullman joined forces in a friendly competition – ‘The Battle of the Harvest’ – this past September and October. The goal was simple yet impactful: to collect as many non-perishable food items as possible for donation to local organizations. By the end of the month, the teams had collectively gathered an impressive total of over 1,700 items, underscoring their dedication to making a positive difference in their communities.
The competition saw LaGrange leading the charge with a remarkable collection of 626 items, followed by Opelika with 550, and Newnan with 355. This effort not only reflects the commitment of these offices to support local causes but also highlights the power of collaboration and shared purpose. Each office had the opportunity to choose where their contributions would most benefit, ensuring that the collected goods directly supported their local communities.
LaGrange has chosen to donate their collected items to the community boxes in both LaGrange and Franklin. Additionally, they will provide support to the Branches of Hope homeless shelter, ensuring that their contributions reach those in greatest need. This initiative not only brought the Region 1 teams closer together but also served as a reminder of the power of collective action in fostering hope and support within the community. We can’t wait to see what our teammates can do next!
