ATLANTA - s4story -- Well-known for its philanthropic efforts nationwide, David Weekley Homes kicks off its annual "Giving Thanks, Giving Back" Thanksgiving Drive in Atlanta on Friday, October 23. Through Friday, November 13, 2026, the award-winning builder will collect non-perishable food donations at its model homes throughout Metro Atlanta. The event culminates on November 13 with a frozen turkey collection at its Atlanta Division headquarters. This year, the donations will benefit Status: Home, helping ensure its clients enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Since its launch in 1988, Status: Home has become Atlanta's oldest and largest provider of permanent housing for low-income and homeless individuals and families impacted by HIV/AIDS.

"Our annual Thanksgiving Drive is one of the purest examples of David Weekley Homes' CARE Program in action," said Atlanta Division President Adam Cornett. "The C stands for 'Committed to Building Community Character,' the A for 'Active in our Community,' the R for 'Responsible to our Community,' and the E for 'Enhancing our Community.' By calling on our network of Team Members, Homeowners, Homebuyers, and community partners to join us in this effort, we're endeavoring to make a positive impact in the communities where we live and work during a time of year when it matters most. Last year, we collected 4,992 non-perishable food items and 298 frozen turkeys to benefit the individuals and families served by the Clayton County Community Services Authority. We can't wait to see what we can do this year to benefit our friends at Status: Home."
