Optomi Atlanta Partners with Multiple Organizations for the 10th Annual Opt2give Day

Optomi Atlanta had a HUGE 10th Annual Opt2give Day! The team kicked off the morning packing TGBash Bags for hospitalized children staying at Children’s Hospital of Atlanta (CHOA). These entertainment bags are supplied by The TGB Foundation, an impact-driven nonprofit created in honor of late Optomi cofounder Todd Black.

Shortly after, the team split up into groups to continue their volunteering. The crew that headed to CHOA dropped off the TGBash Bags and spent some time with the kids there. They even cracked open a coloring book or two from their newly gifted bags!

Another group made their way to Piedmont Park to pick up trash in the area. Parks and urban spaces are heavily used, meaning trash is more likely to accumulate over short periods of time. The team helped the Piedmont Park Conservancy keep over 40 acres of lawn space clear of trash so people are able to gather in a clean space.

Some Optomites headed over to the Ronald McDonald House to participate in their Meals That Heal program which provides a much-needed support service to families with a little loved one in the hospital that often don’t have the time or money to prepare a home-cooked meal. The team prepared casseroles for the families who rely on the Ronald McDonald House to get a hot meal on the table.

A larger group partnered with Camp Horizon! Half of this team helped organize storage units filled with camping items, kitchenware, clothing, toys, board games, and more. These items are utilized by Camp Horizon to provide children who may have been abused, neglected, and/or living in foster care with a cheerful camp experience. The other half of this team helped stuff stockings for the upcoming holiday season. The stockings were filled with toys, games, clothing, personal care items, and more!
