Thanks to a generous donation from Indy Custom Cornhole, we’ll have 2 cornhole sets ready for players at next Friday’s ‘Eat Outside the Box’ picnic to end homelessness. So, gather up a group of co-workers and head on down to Veteran’s Memorial Plaza at Meridian and Michigan and put those lunch dollars to work for a good cause – homeless women and kids. Enjoy some freshly grilled hot dogs and hamburgers from All-American Picnic, chips from GFS and a ice cold water from Noodles and Company and then throw a game of cornhole before heading back to the office.

Booth space is still available for only $50. Interested? Go here to learn more or give Kristen a call at 224-1019.

We’ll be sure to tell you more about them soon, but this is where we talk about homelessness in our city. So we’ll start there…at the big finish!

We’re wrapping up the week by having a picnic with a purpose. Join us on Friday, May 14 (10am-2pm) at Veteran’s Memorial Plaza for our 2nd annual ‘Eat Outside the Box’ picnic to end homelessness. We had a really great turnout last year and we’re hoping to continue to spread the word about our Homelessness Bites campaign. You can join the cause in two ways:

1. Become a booth sponsor – A great location and about 400 picnic-goers means prime exposure for our partnering non-profits and businesses. Partnership is super affordable – booth space is just $50! You’re welcome to have displays, giveways and even sell non-food items and you keep the profits! Interested? Call Kristen at 224-1019 and reserve your space today to get in on early promotions.

2. Come out for lunch and take a bite out of homelessness! The central location at Meridian & Michigan is super convenient for the employees of dozens of downtown businesses to just walk over and join us. All-American Picnic Company will be grilling hamburgers in addition to hotdogs. And we’re thrilled to have live music from BandWagon again this year! Lunch and tunes beats leftovers at your desk, right?

The 1,500 kids who spend their nights on the streets of Indy think Homelessness Bites. Do you? We hope you’ll help us Bite Back.
