While social media might be the place many of go to watch amazing videos of cats, it’s also a place that many use for social activism. Like #HashtagLunchbag. The California-based movement looks at helping those who need food, like the homeless, by giving out prepared brown paper bag lunches of sandwiches, cookies, fruit, and water.
Last year, the movement made its way to Columbus and over the weekend, a group of young central Ohioans packed and handed out around 200 lunches and coats. Volunteer Neteah Hatchett says, “It’s a national initiative in which we come together one Sunday per month and put together brown bag lunches so we can go out and feed the homeless.” (deb)
