Help us replace some of the well-worn items from our old campus as we gear up to move into our new home! Together, we'll be ready to deliver love, dignity, and nutrition to even more of our neighbors in need. Today's featured item: dock plates!

"As we near the finish line of our new campus and revel in the excitement that our next horizon brings, we should all never forget that the Open Hand of today (and tomorrow) was built atop the shoulders of amazing leaders who never gave up, no matter how daunting it was to tackle all the challenges that 'Project Open Hand' faced." Read more from Matthew Pieper, our CEO, about the amazing leaders that built the foundation that allowed Open Hand to get where we are today: https://lnkd.in/ePAinN-W Pictured: Michael Edwards-Pruitt, Open Hand's fearless Founder; Stephen Woods, Open Hand's trailblazing former Executive Director

Our new building will, over time, allow us to greatly increase our mission impact through: ✨A new teaching kitchen, allowing our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and Cooking Matters instructors to teach our clients how to prepare healthy meals. ✨A new Culinary Workforce Development Program, providing at-risk members of the community access to job training and employment opportunities. ✨A 100% increase in warehouse space that over time will enable us to cook, package, and deliver thousands more meals to our neighbors in need. Make a gift today to help us hit the ground running and serve more at-risk Georgians who need us in our new home: https://lnkd.in/ecD9TtGY.

We need summer volunteers! Pick up a shift as a volunteer driver or on the packing line with us as we continue to prepare to move to our new building at 1380 West Marietta Street: https://lnkd.in/emPzPfNJ
