(Atlantic) SHIFT ATL is hosting a Farm to Table Dinner experience for the organization’s annual fundraiser. The event will be held on July 17, 2021, on 4th Street between Chestnut Street and Walnut Street.
Mallory Robinson, a SHIFT ATL member explains…..
Robinson says the funds raised for this event will help support the group in filling their funding gap to complete the renovations at their 14 E 4th Street project.
Robinson says this is the first farm to table farm to table fundraising event. She says this type of event has received overwhelming responses in other smaller communities, so they decided to give it a try.
The Cocktail hour begins at 5:30, with the dinner to follow. Dinner will consist of steak or pork grilled on location and family-style sides and dessert. A beer garden will be available all evening with tickets available purchase at the gate that evening.
Tickets are available for $50/person, a table of eight is $350.00. This includes dinner and entry to the dueling pianos. There is limited seating available, and we do anticipate this event selling out quickly.
Attendees can purchase tickets for the dueling piano-only entertainment before the event for $15/person or $20/person the night at the door. Gates will open for the dueling pianos at 7:30 p.m., following the Farm to Table dinner.

SHIFT ATL, a 501(c)3 nonprofit formed in 2019, continues to build upon their broad but straightforward vision for the place they have made home: to shift the direction of Atlantic’s social and economic development opportunities by leveraging partnerships and strengthening social bonds within the community. They intend to revitalize Atlantic through projects, services and programs that will enhance the community and foster a sense of growth.
Their inaugural project, renovating the Telegraph building (formerly known as the Downtowner) saw construction start in November of 2020. Werts Construction (Frazer Werts and team), Camblin Mechanical, and Berg Electric have been executing against the renovation plan for the past four months and have made great progress. They have completed demolition, stabilized and plumbed the building, and poured a new floor. Currently, a new wall system is being built so that the finishing construction elements can begin. SHIFT ATL will still be completing a 2-bedroom AirBnB on the upper story. The lower-level commercial space is currently without a tenant, but the organization has ideas for what they would like to see occupy this space and are excited about the potential this space holds for the community of Atlantic. Additionally, in January 2021, SHIFT ATL purchased their first “flip” house, activating their Housing gear. Construction by Andy Hatley, owner of Excel Construction, is in full swing, with the hope of project completion on June 1, 2021, ready for its new owners.
