Committed to Being a Responsible Neighbor
Serving humanitarian causes in local communities nationwide that help provide access to a variety of resources.

CANstruction Build-Out
In 2012, Jordan & Skala and Wakefield Beasley & Associates worked together to ‘canstruct’ a giant toilet to “flush out hunger.” In only three hours, 2,306 cans of Vienna Sausages were carefully stacked together to create the giant toilet. In total, 3,238 cans were collected, which were all distributed to food banks throughout Atlanta. CAnstruction is an annual event that takes place across the US and we were happy to take part in our local event.
Junior Achievement
As part of Corenet’s Junior Achievement Day, Jordan & Skala’s Tim Milam shared a day in the classroom with Ronald McNair Learning Academy students, leading an instruction session on economics and business-building.
