As the season of ghosts and goblins gives way to the holiday devoted to gratitude and gatherings, David Weekley Homes’ Atlanta Division kicked off its annual “Giving Thanks, Giving Back” Thanksgiving Drive. Between Friday, October 31 and Friday, November 14, 2025, the award-winning national homebuilder will collect donations of non-perishable food items at its model homes throughout Metro Atlanta and at its Corporate Office in Roswell. The event culminates on the final day with a push for frozen turkeys – to help ensure that individuals in need enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Once again, David Weekley Homes is partnering with HomeAid Georgia on this endeavor. Their combined efforts will benefit the Clayton County Community Services Authority and the South Metro neighbors it serves.

“Our annual ‘Giving Thanks, Giving Back’ Thanksgiving Drive is an impactful element of David Weekley Homes’ CARE program,” said Atlanta Division President Adam Cornett. “It’s an extension of our company’s Purpose of ‘Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives’ when we ask the community to stuff our neighborhoods on behalf of our neighbors in need. We call upon our Team Members, Homeowners, homebuyers, vendors, and community partners to join us in the spirit of giving. Last year, we collected 2,509 non-perishable food items and 5,277 lbs. of frozen turkeys – more than enough to feed an estimated 1,700+ individuals. We’re hoping to move the needle even further this year. Our thanks go out to our partners at HomeAid Georgia for joining us in this effort and for introducing us to the Clayton County Community Services Authority.”

Cornett explained the company had found an ideal partner this year in Clayton County Community Services Authority. In 2024 alone, the organization distributed more than 14,000 pounds of food to nearly 900 families – easing food insecurity and reducing financial strain on families in Clayton, Fayette, and Henry Counties. Items being requested during the first leg of the drive include:

  • Soups
  • Tuna packs
  • Chicken packs
  • Oatmeal
  • Cookie mix
  • Bread mix
  • Granola bars
  • Rice
  • Pasta

Donations of the items listed above can be dropped off at the model homes inside the following David Weekley Homes communities between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and between 1 and 6 p.m. on Sunday:

Non-perishable items will also be collected at the Atlanta Division Office, located at 100 Mansell Court East, Suite 100, in Roswell, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. On Friday, November 14, the Division Office will be the sole location for the drop-off of frozen turkeys between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. For those who wish to make their donations online, David Weekley Homes has set up a wish list page through Amazon. Anyone wishing to make a monetary contribution can do so by clicking here.
