Looking for a meaningful way to make a difference this summer? ☀️

Join us every Wednesday and Saturday for our weekly food distributions! Whether you’re packing boxes, loading vehicles, greeting families, or helping behind the scenes, you’ll play a direct role in serving our neighbors facing food insecurity.

One of the best parts of volunteering at Bridging the Gap is the family atmosphere. You’ll serve alongside incredible people, build new friendships, and experience the fulfillment that comes from helping others in a tangible way.

Come Feed, Serve, and Restore with us this summer—and if you love it as much as we do, we’d love to have you all year long! 🧡

☀️ What an incredible first week of Summer Lunch 2026! ☀️

This week, we served smiles, meals, and meaningful connections throughout our community, and none of it would be possible without the amazing volunteers who showed up ready to make a difference.

A huge thank you to Kason Industries, Inc., St Paul's Episcopal Church, Heatherwood Baptist Church Youth Group, Hoping Forward - Newnan, GA, Backpack Buddies of Georgia and the many individual families who spent their time serving alongside us this week. Your willingness to invest in the children and families of our community helps make Summer Lunch a success!

Yesterday, our Executive Director, Jamar Joiner, had the privilege of attending the ribbon cutting for the new Goodwill Industries of the Southern Rivers Education and Training Center right here in Coweta County. 🎉✂️

At Bridging the Gap, we know that restoration goes beyond meeting immediate needs. It means creating pathways to long-term stability and success. We are excited to see this new resource providing career services, job coaching, skills training, GED preparation, and workforce development opportunities for our community. 💙

Strong communities are built when organizations come together to remove barriers and create opportunities. 🤝 We are grateful for partners like Goodwill who continue investing in brighter futures for individuals and families across our region.

Congratulations to Goodwill Industries of the Southern Rivers on this exciting milestone! 🎊 We look forward to seeing the impact this center will have for years to come.

TODAY IS THE DAY! ☀️🥪🍎

Our 2026 Summer Lunch Program officially starts today and we could not be more excited to spend another summer serving children and families across our community!

Before the meals are served, games are played, and sites are filled with laughter, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible Summer Lunch staff standing behind this program. ❤️

These team members spend long, hot days preparing sites, serving meals, loading supplies, encouraging children, creating safe spaces, and making sure every child who visits feels seen and cared for. Their passion, patience, and heart for this community are what make this program so special year after year.

Because of this amazing team, thousands of children across Coweta County will have access to meals, fun, and connection all summer long. We are beyond grateful for each person who said “yes” to serving this summer.

We cannot wait to see what this summer brings at all 7 of our locations, including our newest site, Ruth Hill Elementary! Let the best summer yet begin! 💙

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend, it is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy every day. We are deeply grateful for those who served with courage and for the families who carry their legacy forward.

From all of us at BTG Community Outreach, we pray for comfort, peace, and remembrance for every Gold Star family and loved one grieving a hero today.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13 ❤️🤍💙
