Celebrating the Season with Community Service

On November 20, 2019, the Bankruptcy Section, in connection with the Metro Atlanta Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney Group, hosted a community service event. Volunteers arrived at the Midtown Assistance Center with bundles of bread, peanut butter, and jelly in tow to build sandwiches for the Center. Section members also collected household and hygiene goods (including paper products and cleaning supplies) for those in need. Several section members brought family along and all enjoyed celebrating the season in a sensationally sticky scene!
