Can-a-Thon: Here's how you can donate

It's time to join 11Alive for a tradition 34 years in the making: Can-a-thon! Here's how you can donate.
Students at Grater Atlanta Christian School have been working to collect donations for the 11Alive Can-A-Thon.

It's time to join 11Alive for a tradition 34 years in the making: Can-a-thon!

Food insecurity is a very big issue in the United States. In 2015, 15.8 million households were food insecure. And 6.3 million households didn't know where their next meal would come. Those numbers include 13.1 million children. A total of 42.2 million Americans live in homes without stable food security.

11Alive and the Salvation Army want you to help curb those numbers and change lives in our community.
