Hashtag Lunchbag ATL: July Service Event

Hashtag Lunchbag is a global movement that empowers everyday people to spread love, one lunch bag at a time. On Saturday, June 29th, our Atlanta Chapter is partnering with Tre Foundation (Together Reaching Everyone) a non-profit organization that focuses on uplifting at risk youth and underprivileged families in local communities, to prepare and distribute lunches and toiletries to our neighbors without homes AND collect school supplies for our neighbors who can use a helping hand this school year at the Butler Street Community Development Corporation. Come serve with us! ♥️

Assembly Start Time: 10:00 AM

Distribution Start Time: 11:30 AM

Location: 17 Jesse Hill Jr Drive NE, Atlanta GA

Details:

Love Notes and Lunch bags

We will begin by decorating the lunch bags and writing short notes of inspiration and encouragement that will go into each lunch bag.

Sandwich Assembly

We will prepare each sandwich with love and package them along with a small sweet treat for the receiver to enjoy! (Each preparer will be properly sanitized and protected.)

Bag Assembly

Each sandwich will be bagged, along with a love note, fruit, water, and other items for the receivers benefit, then prepped for distribution.

Distribution

This is the best part of the entire event! A portion of the sandwiches will be taken to our local Free99 Fridge, and the lunch bags will be passed around the city to those in need. The smiles we get from those we help are absolutely heart-warming! Locations will be provided to make distribution easier.

We will be collecting the following toiletry items to go into the lunch bags for our neighbors:

• Marta Bus Passes
• Toothbrushes
• Travel size toothpaste
• Travel size hand lotion
• Travel size hand sanitizer
• Deodorant
• Ponchos
• Tents
• Chapstick
• Body wipes
  

In addition, we’re collecting items for our back to school drive. Our goals is to fill 600 backpacks with supplies! Our Back to School Amazon Wishlist is here.

You can bring the items on the day of the service event, order items on the above list to be shipped right to us, or make a monetary donation ($hashtaglunchbagatl) and we’ll handle the shopping for you. If you are interested in sponsoring any of the above items, let us know!

There will be limited, free parking in the lot beside the venue on the day of the event.

We will have a live DJ providing the jams and a photographer/videographer to capture the cool moments, so be sure to bring your smile!
