As part of the effort to fight hunger, the 2023 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) raised $30,000 for the Atlanta Community Food Bank through its ‘Giving Back to Atlanta’ campaign. The donation included $14,503 in contributions from IPPE, Hawkins Inc. and WATT Global Media, with an additional $3,422 provided through a contribution from Expo Auctions and $12,075 by numerous individual donations.
"We continue to be thankful for the support that IPPE and its attendees and exhibitors have given the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Contributions from these valued partners will help provide more than 125,000 meals to families in metro Atlanta and North Georgia, where one in four children face food insecurity each day," said Ben Burgess, corporate relations manager, Atlanta Community Food Bank.
