The 2025 Georgia Accounting Food Fight concluded with remarkable success, raising $380,071.50—equivalent to nearly 1.5 million meals—for food banks across Georgia. This annual fundraising campaign, now in its 12th year, represents a collaborative effort between Feeding Georgia and the Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), demonstrating the accounting profession's commitment to combating hunger statewide.
Julie Kuykendall, Executive Director of Feeding Georgia, expressed gratitude for the collective effort, stating that the funds will help provide nourishing food to families and neighbors in need. The campaign's timing is strategically aligned to restock food banks after the summer surge caused by the conclusion of school lunch assistance programs, ensuring continuous support for vulnerable populations.
Collins/Moody & Company earned the title of Grand Prize Food Fight Hero by raising $2,100 and achieving the most points per employee statewide. Nichols, Cauley and Associates were named Grand Prize Hunger Champion Winner for raising $61,140.67 and securing the most statewide points overall.

Boyd Search, CEO of The Georgia Society of CPAs, highlighted the campaign's record-breaking impact, noting that CPAs across Georgia have collectively contributed nearly $2.9 million since the initiative's inception in 2014. This cumulative effort translates to 11,706,538 meals, underscoring the accounting profession's sustained generosity and community focus.
The implications of this achievement are significant, particularly given that 1 in 7 Georgians experiences food insecurity. Fundraisers like the Georgia Accounting Food Fight are crucial for addressing this issue, directly supporting Feeding Georgia's mission to provide nutritious meals and create a hunger-free state. The campaign also exemplifies how professional communities can mobilize resources for social good, setting a precedent for other industries to follow.
All funds raised during the two-week competition remain local, benefiting the nine food banks that serve participating communities. This localized approach ensures that contributions have a direct impact on the regions where accounting professionals live and work, fostering a sense of shared purpose and tangible community improvement.
