Atlanta Golf Community Gives Back


Henry County's premier golf community, Heron Bay Golf & Country Club offers residents much more than a spectacular golf course. In addition to being known for fast greens, challenging par-3's and perfectly manicured fairways, this Atlanta golf community is known for their philanthropic efforts.

This holiday season, Heron Bay is back again for the community's annual canned food drive.For the past month, residents have gathered together cans of food and non-perishable items which were donated to three local charities: The Haven House, A Friends House and Five Loaves and Two Fish Food Pantry.

In November, each Heron Bay resident was given a grocery bag donated by Publix. They were asked to fill the bags and leave them outside their doors, where volunteers could come by to pick them up. There was also a donation box in the Heron Bay Lodge and residents were asked to take a box into their offices to increase the amount of food collected. The response was overwhelming. Over 150 bags of food were collected and the Heron Bay community was able brighten the lives of those less fortunate.

The annual food drive is just one of the many activities and charity events that Heron Bay residents participate in throughout the year. The close-knit community can often be found together whether it be at the annual Christmas party or getting ready for the semi annual Heron Bay Garage sale. Weekends are spent on the golf course, in the clubhouse or by the pool, making this neighborhood the perfect home for any golf enthusiast.
