Glass was crushing. Bubbles were flying. Volunteers were EVERYWHERE. Just another perfectly normal Kick Glass night.
Seriously, Hattiesburg… y’all showed up!
We had an incredible number of volunteers jumping in to sort, prep, break down boxes, haul, crush, laugh, learn, and somehow make all that work feel like a really good time.
A HUGE shoutout to the Boy Scouts who came ready to work and to our friends from DuBard School who were so engaged, curious, and excited to be part of the process. THIS is the stuff we love.
Getting people involved, letting them get their hands dirty, and showing the next generation that taking care of your community can actually be FUN.
Big thanks to Bernadette Silverstein + Waste Pro USA. 🫧💚 Bernadette showed up with her bubbly personality AND actual bubbles for the kids 😂, while Waste Pro once again generously picked up the check for our volunteers. We are so thankful for partners who don’t just support the mission from afar, they come out and become part of it.
Once again, we couldn’t crush it all before the night was over, so a whole lot of it had to make the trip back to The Shack for round two. At this point, having “too much glass” might be our favorite problem to have.
Every bottle saved. Every kid learning. Every volunteer staying an extra hour. Every business showing up. Every new person asking, “Okay, what exactly are y’all doing over here?”
This is how a grassroots movement grows.
Thank you for continuing to show up, Hattiesburg. Keep saving it. Keep bringing it. Keep telling your people.
We’ll keep crushing it. Always thankful to Southern Prohibition for hosting us every month.
