ATL HAWKS AND STATE FARM® SPREAD HOLIDAY CHEER AT MOWA

‘Tis the season for the ATL Hawks as part of Season of Giving, the Hawks and State Farm teamed up for ‘Bingo, Beats and Brunch’ event at the Good Neighbor Pantry at Meals on Wheels Atlanta (MOWA) to impact local seniors.

Local seniors were in for a treat with a visit from Hawks legend, Naismith and Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, Dominique Wilkins, who helped spread the holiday cheer. Also in attendance was Atlanta native, singer/songwriter and member of the iconic group 112, Q Parker, who serenaded the seniors with several songs.

“We are excited to partner with State Farm to bring holiday joy to local seniors and help combat food insecurity,” said Hawks’ Vice President of Community Impact and Basketball Programs Jon Babul.

Members of the Hawks and State Farm volunteered their time to pack groceries, and spread holiday joy during the event. ATL Dancers welcomed the seniors who arrived for a festive brunch which included ribs, mashed potatoes, carrots, lemon meringue pie and more.

After brunch, they played bingo alongside Hawks and State Farm volunteers to the tune of holiday-themed music and won prizes such as Hawks swag and grocery gift cards.

Following the event, each senior at MOWA went home with a shelf-stable supply of groceries. Meals on Wheels Atlanta  is a non-profit organization that supports senior independence through meals, shelter, education and community.

“It’s a pleasure working alongside the MOWA team, Atlanta Hawks and State Farm associates to once again fight food insecurity in our Atlanta neighborhoods,” said Tanya James, State Farm Corporate Responsibility Manager.
