FalCan Food Drive
The Atlanta Falcons will partner with Publix Super Markets and the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) to host its annual food drive. On November 8, 2009 before the Falcons vs. Washington Redskins game, fans are encouraged to donate canned food items or make a monetary donation to benefit the ACFB’s mission to be a resource for underserved communities.
In 2008, the Falcons hosted the first FalCan Food Drive Kick-off event at Perimeter Mall on November 11. This event was attended by Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders and Falcons players Michael Turner, Jerious Norwood, Ovie Mughelli, Jamaal Anderson and DJ Shockley who signed autographs for fans that brought canned food items. This event contributed 1,000 pounds of food to the FalCan Food Drive.
On November 16, 2008 with volunteer support from the ACFB, Atlanta Falcons Women’s Association and collection from the FalCan Food Drive kick-off event, nearly 5,000 pounds of food and almost $4,000 was collected. Following the Food Drive, members of the Falcons defensive line visited the Atlanta Community Food Bank and helped sort canned goods as well as helped serve a special Thanksgiving meal for the less fortunate at the Crossroads Community Ministries.

D'Vine
D’Vine has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide through their richly harmonic sounds. Paula, Pam and Sheryl grew up singing in their church choir as children. They continued singing in school chorus, small ensembles, and eventually in college choirs. After returning to their hometown of Decatur, Georgia, God gave the two sisters and their high school friend a vision to form a group, thus the creation of D’Vine. Believing that there was a higher calling in their lives, the trio began to share their gift of music through non-traditional opportunities. Over the past 15 years they have sung at the 53d Presidential Inauguration, with the renowned Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at the 1996 Olympic Games and internationally.
With more than 150 concerts annually, D’Vine has received repeat bookings in South America, Europe, Mexico, at the White House and all across the United States.Their gospel sound has been embraced in corporate and school settings. Far and beyond, D’Vine has traveled as state Ambassadors with the Georgia Governor sharing their music with international dignitaries and local communities.
