Join us for one of our upcoming events! From fundraisers to community outreach events, we have a variety of opportunities to get involved and support our mission.
On April 19, culinary students from several Gwinnett County high schools will square off in a competition (thus, the “food fight”) to create and prepare dishes — to be judged by Chef Hank Reid of the Snellville-based nonprofit Lettum Eat and others — that will help feed the food insufficient in the community.
Reid, commonly known as Chef Hank, started handing out meals throughout Gwinnett County at distributions like these with the launch of his nonprofit Lettum Eat in 2019. He had no idea just how badly his community would soon need him.2019.
Pandemic shutdowns pushed the number of food-insecure households in Gwinnett County to unprecedented numbers.
Lettum Eat! was able to bless about 20 families at the end of 2020 with a shopping spree and free groceries. The organization served up 80,000 free meals in 2020 to the masses and was able to make a significantly larger impact on this handful of households after they were nominated by peers, friends, and family.
The Lettum Eat! Podcast was launched in January of 2020. It's available anywhere you get your podcasts normally. We are using our platform to hold the door open for and to shed some light on other ministries and people doing great things in our world.
Hank Reid is the Owner of Lettum Eat! and Executive Chef of Food and Beverage Director at First Baptist Church in Snellville. Having been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years, he took his personal mantra "lettum eat" and brought it to people in need. Just a few months into this new project began, COVID-19 struck the community and now people in the community need his service more than ever before. In just 4 weeks they served 85,000 meals and they aren't slowing down.
