We’re looking for a few caring and detail-oriented volunteers to help us sort through 85 duffle bags recently donated to Because One Matters. Each bag is filled with essential toiletries, and we need your help to ensure they’re ready to be distributed to children and teens impacted by foster care.
What You’ll Be Doing:

Review and sort: Volunteers will go through each duffle bag to confirm the items inside are appropriate for a specific age group (ranging from toddlers to teens).
Adjust as needed: If any items are missing or not age-appropriate, volunteers will help swap
Label bags: Once finalized, each duffle bag will be clearly labeled with the correct age group so that they’re ready for distribution.
Final check: Volunteers will help ensure each bag is neatly packed, zipped, and ready to go.

This is a hands-on opportunity that directly impacts the comfort and dignity of children entering foster care. Every bag you help prepare is a reminder to a child that they matter and are not forgotten.

GYP Impact @ Project Kids Eat
2025-06-20 11:30 - 13:00 | Campus Church, 1525 Indian Trail Road, Norcross, 30093, United States
The Gwinnett Young Professionals will join forces with the organizers of PROJECT KIDS EAT (PKE) on Friday, June 20 from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM to pack and deliver meals to local children living in extended stay hotels. These children often face food insecurity when school is not in session, missing out on the consistent breakfast and lunch they typically receive during the academic year. Sadly, food insecurity can increase a child’s vulnerability to exploitation, as traffickers sometimes use basic needs—like food—as a tool for manipulation.
This hands-on service opportunity reflects GYP’s commitment to creating real impact in our community. By helping pack and deliver lunches, we hope not only to meet an immediate need but also to raise awareness about the often-overlooked issue of child hunger in Gwinnett. Many of these families live just miles away from our homes and offices. This is a chance to show up, support, and make a tangible difference.
Project Kids Eat is an outreach of Campus Church, located at 1525 Indian Trail Road. Each weekday during the summer, PKE relies on volunteers to serve over 160 children with reliable, nutritious meals. For more information or to get involved, contact Julie@campuschurch.org or visit https://campuschurch.org/PKE.
Please note: We will be collecting food items at our GYP Morning Mixer @ Junior Achievement on June 17th to bring to this volunteer event. Join us at our Morning Mixer to network over breakfast and feel free to bring the items below. If you’re unable to come to the Morning Mixer but still want to bring collection items, fee free to bring them with you to this June 20th service opportunity! Reach out if you have any questions.
