Midwest Food Bank Georgia wants August donors to literally claim a piece of its future — one square at a time. The Peachtree City organization launched a month-long Giving Grid campaign aiming to raise $50,000 toward the $360,000 still owed on the warehouse that made its growth possible.
The campaign runs on givinggrid.com/plygxt, where supporters select a square on a digital grid, personalize it with a photo, logo, or image, and contribute a donation. The completed mosaic is set to be displayed at the warehouse, according to the organization's campaign page.
The August drive is one piece of a larger 15-Year Debt-Free Campaign, with the full $360,000 balance targeted for elimination by October 2026, according to the campaign page on givinggrid.com.
Midwest Food Bank Georgia opened in 2011 serving nine local nonprofit partners. It now provides food and essential resources to more than 260 nonprofit organizations across the Southeast, according to the organization's campaign page. The remaining debt represents the investments that funded that expansion.
Help us celebrate 15 years by helping Midwest Food Bank Georgia become debt-free! Our goal is to eliminate this debt by October 2026, positioning us for the next 15 years from a place of financial strength. Every square you claim helps ensure every future dollar goes even further to feed families, provide disaster relief, and bring hope to our communities.— Midwest Food Bank Georgia
Donations are processed through PayPal; GivingGrid does not charge the fundraising organization a platform fee, though donors may see standard credit card processing fees of roughly 2% plus a small transaction fee.
The organization is based at 220 Parkade Court in Peachtree City. Anyone wishing to participate can visit givinggrid.com/plygxt to select and personalize a square.
Why it matters — Every dollar freed from debt service can go directly toward food distribution and disaster relief across the Southeast — making the campaign's outcome a practical question for the 260-plus nonprofits that depend on the food bank.
