There’s a lot of heart behind every weekend meal we pack.

💙 As we count down to Starry Nights tomorrow, we’re especially grateful to Katie McGuirk & Kelly Ruddell for generously sponsoring this year’s Gala. Their support helps Backpack Buddies be there for children during the weekends, when the school meals they depend on aren’t available. It means nutritious food in their backpacks on Friday and one less worry to carry home. Katie & Kelly, thank you for putting your hearts behind this mission and helping us care for children and families across Metro Atlanta. We’re so thankful to have you celebrating Starry Nights with us. ✨ #bpbma #backpackbuddies #starrynightsgala #endchildhoodhunger #metroatlanta
