NORCROSS, Ga. The Georgia Pest Control Association has always been an advocate of giving back to the communities they are a part of and live in. In collaboration of their newly formed committee, GA PestVets – 3/16 Veteran Support Group (3/16-VSG), the organization recently donated over 1,000 coats to the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program. With the help and partnership with Coalition of One, a coalition of veteran service organizations, these coats will be distributed to homeless veterans throughout the state of Georgia.
The GA PestVets goal is not only to help provide veterans the pest control industry to work in but also to showcase that the pest control industry supports and contributes to veterans. Cochairmen Xavier Cugnon and Chuck Carney saw this to be a great opportunity for GPCA to give back to their community.
