A Season of Gratitude

Personal Reflections Christine Bradley November 26, 2025

As I reflect on this season of gratitude, I’m proud to share the results of our 17th Annual Christine Bradley Team Food Drive benefiting the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of our Vinings neighbors, we collected over 820 pounds of food this year — a meaningful contribution at a time when food insecurity continues to affect so many families across Atlanta.

Every year, as soon as fall approaches, neighbors begin asking me, “When is the food drive happening this year?” That enthusiasm and expectation mean more to me than I can express. It’s a reminder that this effort has become a shared tradition — something our community looks forward to and participates in wholeheartedly. Knowing that people are eager to support the cause makes all the behind-the-scenes work a labor of love and worth every minute.

This tradition is also strengthened by those who quietly support it in important ways, including my husband, Charlie. He has always been dedicated to helping wherever and whenever he’s needed. He understands how deeply this food drive matters to me and to our community, and I am grateful for his steady support each year.

I also want to express my appreciation to our neighbors, friends, clients, and vendors. Your trust in the Christine Bradley Team allows us to stay grounded in gratitude all year long — not just during the season of giving. Your support reminds us daily of how fortunate we are to do what we love and to give back in meaningful ways that help others.

Thank you for making this year’s food drive another success. Together, we continue to strengthen our neighborhoods and support the vital work of the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

With much gratitude,

Christine
