Lunch Means More, an initiative to give back to a local nonprofit, will be integrated into the event for its third season. Barnes & Thornburg will match 15% of the sales from a weekly featured food provider at the event. The featured food provider will rotate each week and be announced publicly via social media @downtownfortwayne. On Thursday, August 8, Barnes & Thornburg and Downtown Fort Wayne will present a check for the total amount raised during the 10-week series to the selected nonprofit organization, Blessings in a Backpack.
Blessings in a Backpack, a Fort Wayne 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, “mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for school-aged children who might otherwise go hungry.” To learn more about Blessings in a Backpack, its mission, and additional ways to support its work, please go to BlessingsIndiana.org.
