GPS Hospitality Efforts With the Atlanta Mission and Beyond

Since 2017, the GPS Hospitality corporate office has supported the Atlanta Mission. Their partnership began with sponsoring the shelter’s annual 5K which takes place every February. Since then, GPS’ efforts with the non-profit have grown to include corporate staff doing volunteer work and holding multiple drives to collect items that the Atlanta Mission needs.

During this past holiday drive, which took place at the end of 2022, the shelter specifically needed cold and flu medications, thermal clothing and other necessities that are vital to survive the winter season.

Lisa Grier, GPS Hospitality director of communications, commented, “Some years we collect gift cards or other items depending on what is needed at the time. This past year, we had a good collection of cold weather necessities that I delivered to the Atlanta Mission in December.”

The company also works with My Sister’s House, a women’s and children’s shelter ran by the Atlanta Mission, where

GPS Hospitality staff have volunteered multiple times to serve lunch to those the shelter supports.

“Volunteering with Atlanta Mission is something the corporate office began doing to allow us to find a way to serve hands-on,” Grier said.

“We always run in the 5K together as a group. Each February we run in the cold for those who sleep in the cold.”

GPS also supports many charitable efforts through its brands. Grier continued, “We always participate in the BURGER KING® Foundation fundraisers in all our stores. We own other brands as well, and in our restaurants, we like to support our brands and their charities. GPS is proud to continue participating in these efforts, and we’re looking forward to getting our volunteer dates on the calendar for 2023!”
