Thousands of volunteers pack 1.5 million meals ...

Over the course of just 2 days, close to 6,000 volunteers came together to pack almost 1.5 million meals that will be distributed here locally in Metro Atlanta. Hands On Atlanta was there with support staff volunteers to ensure the Million Meal Pack at State Farm Arena and the 9/11 Day of Remembrance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium hit their meal packing goals. Learn more about these fun and meaningful events and how you can get involved in our fight against food insecurity.

Please join Star-C as we continue to keep our kids educationally engaged. STAR-C’s mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals in affordable housing communities and stabilize local schools by stabilizing rents and providing academic support and other wraparound services.

We would love volunteers who can help us with a project that includes virtual activities for our kids. This will help STAR-C students by providing necessary academic support, engaging content, and safe activities for students to complete independently or with their families while they are unable to physically attend the STAR-C After School Program where they would have normally had this type of engagement. 

Volunteers can provide the following virtual videos: 

  • Simple Yoga demonstrations

  • Simple Meditation demonstrations

  • Children Exercises

  • Reading Books aloud (reading different chapters each day/weekly series)

  • Cooking demo (healthy snacks)

  • Arts and craft videos (step by step instructions)

  • Trivia

  • Family games (instruction on how to play different games that are family related)

  • Gardening videos

Please send your videos and contact information to Keya Oates@keyaoates@tristarinvest.com. You can also reach me at 404-668-3949.
