A few weeks ago, I asked for your help to provide free water at
Lansing PrideLansing Pride in Old Town Lansing Community thanks to your support.

Takeout Takeout was able to pass out 100 reusable water cups. And I'm proud to say that 84/100 were returned. They will be washed, sanitized, and reused at future events.

Thank you all again for your help the community really appreciated it. The free water became a lifeline for a few guests who were struggling with the heat.

Yesterday we got to share a booth with Sycamore Creek Church at Lansing Pride. We set out on a mission to reduce waste at festivals, but everything became so much deeper when we became the oasis in a desert. Thanks to some awesome Lansing community members who donated, we were able to give away FREE water in reusable cups. That free water became a lifeline to many people in the heat. Just know that your donation was greatly appreciated and felt by all. Shout out to Matthew Ryan Salon & Garden Matthew Ryan Clouse Mark Kevin Clouse who kept the water flowing when our dispensers were empty.

🚨🚨WE NEED HELP🚨🚨

As most of you know I started Takeout Takeout with nothing. It was nothing more than an idea in my head when I first started meeting with Jerry at The Fledge. Then it grew into a reality with Abundance Cafe and Apple Blossom Kombucha when we did our first pilot and diverted over 4,200 single-use items from landfills. Since then, the recognition of Takeout Takeout and the support for reuse in the community has become more than I ever imagined.

🏳️‍🌈There is an opportunity to bring Takeout Takeout and the reuse movement on a bigger stage at Lansing Pride. Local LGBTQ+ affirming churches have agreed to let us have water refill stations at their booths that is completely free to Lansing Pride attendees while supplies last!

💧Guests will be able to fill their own water bottle or use one of our reusable cups. We will collect our cups on-site then wash and sanitize for reuse at future Lansing events.

❓The problem? The churches hosting us need additional funding to support this project. This is where you come in!

🏳️‍🌈 If you want to take PRIDE in our community by keeping it clean after events, please consider donating or sharing this message.
Your donation will help cover cups, collection bins, collection, cleaning and sanitation. 🏳️‍🌈

As of today, the reuse movement has its own symbol! Marketing and branding guidelines were just sent out from Upstream this morning. If you start to see this symbol just know that it means that business is a part of the reuse movement. Learn more: https://www.pr3standards.org/global-reuse-symbol
