CHARITY EVENTS

Kindness eases change./ Love quiets fear./ And a sweet and powerful/ Positive obsession/ Blunts pain,/ Diverts rage,/ And engages each of us/ In the greatest,/ The most intense/ Of our chosen struggles.”

-Octavia Butler, Parable of the Talents

MULTIVERSE 2023’s CHARITY BENEFICIARY WAS:

BACKPACK BUDDIES OF METRO ATLANTA

Multiverse raised nearly $1600 in 2023 for Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta!

Since 2022, Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta has followed a single mission: to provide weekend meals to food-insecure children across Metro Atlanta, to enhance their physical and mental health and their ability to learn. Learn more about Backpack Buddies and how you can support their mission below:

Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit dedicated to closing the weekend hunger gap for food-insecure children. Approximately 1 in 6 school-aged children in metro Atlanta rely on their school system for meals during the week, but do not have reliable sources of food over the weekends. Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta provides bags of food free of charge (enough to feed each child for a weekend), distributed each Friday at schools around the metro Atlanta area.

Backpack Buddies currently provides weekend meals to more than 2,000 children across metro Atlanta each week. In the 2022-2023 school year, they provided over 280,000 meals. In 2023, Backpack Buddies opened a new, larger storage and distribution facility with the goal of expanding service to 5,000 children every week by the end of the 2025-2026 school year. All charity purchases and donations at Multiverse 2023 will directly support this mission!
