Plates and Playbooks was born from a simple belief: student athletes can’t pour out on the field if no one is pouring into them.

Marcus Arnold started this program and has led it ever since with integrity, grace, and respect — showing up week after week, county after county, because he knows a full plate builds a stronger team. Today, Plates and Playbooks serves student athletes across Douglas, Carroll, and Paulding Counties with pre and post-game meals. We are fueling bodies, but also reminding these young men and women that their community sees them and shows up for them. Last year alone, we provided over 5000 meals and 70% of those meals were given to student athletes. That’s 3500 reminders that someone cared enough to feed them before and after the whistle blew. Bigger than a meal, the gospel of Jesus has been shared. That’s why we show up. That is what gives us strength. God is and will forever be glorified in all that we do. Thank you to everyone who has prayed, given and showed up to help make this possible. Most importantly thank you Jesus for your constant provision and kindness towards @likewiseministries Pray as @christcutzbbq @marcusuntrez and the team are serving football camps and preparing for the upcoming school year.
