#HashtagLunchbag Stories!

At #HashtagLunchbag, we like to recognize the companies that have made generous contributions to the movement. We could not achieve our goals without the support, involvement, and excitement of our committed partners. To show our appreciation, we would like to share the incredible impact our partners have made on communities all around the world.

We all have something to give, whether it’s our deepest passion or our simplest hobby. Whatever that gift of joy may be, start giving as much of it as you can. The world needs your light now more than ever.

Anaika started coming to #HashtagLunchbag events four years ago. We'd say that qualifies as an OG! We asked Anaika a few rapid-fire "OG" questions to learn more about her experience working with the Brooklyn Chapter.

At #HashtagLunchbag we refer to our long-time volunteers by an affectionate acronym – we call them OGs: #OriginalGivers. One of our OGs is K.C. Cardwell. K.C. has been a part of #HashtagLunchbag LA’s Chapter for almost five years (practically since our inception) thanks to his friend, Ricky Smith the founder of R.A.K.E (Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere).

At a recent #HashtagLunchbag Los Angeles Chapter event we sat down with Chris Pan of MyIntent. We’re often humbled by the caliber of our collaborators, and MyIntent is no exception.

Happy April, #HashtagLunchbag community! The word of the month is “Gratitude” and we’re grateful to be a part of this team of doers. So far, there are #HashtagLunchbag events scheduled in 7 states and 12 cities across the country, from New York to California we’ll be handing out food and love to those in need.

We love hearing from companies that want to partner with #HashtagLunchbag as a way to give back to their local communities, and recently, MatchCraft was a company to make our day. 

We love a party with a purpose. And we REALLY love a birthday party with a purpose. Recently, Olivet Church hosted a #HashtagLunchbag event for Janay Roberson's birthday. Every year Janay dedicates her birthday month to giving back to the community and this year, she wanted to bring #HashtagLunchbag to her community. How awesome is that?!

"Tell those kids thank you & that I'll be praying for them."

Some things should never repeat themselves. This is not one of those things.
