Love Beyond Walls Installs Portable Sinks Throughout Atlanta So That Homeless People Can Wash Their Hands Amid Coronavirus Crisis

Hello World,

We’ve heard over and over again that washing your hands is one of the best ways to stop the spread of COVID-19, but for homeless people, that guideline is particularly challenging. If you have a home, you can wash your hands in your sink, but if you don’t have a home, it’s unlikely that you have a sink. And with only essential businesses operating at the moment (at least here in metro Atlanta), fewer public sinks are available than even before.

But Atlanta’s Love Beyond Walls is addressing this challenge through its Love Sinks In campaign in which the ministry will install portable sinks throughout the city that homeless people can use. Christian rapper Lecrae is one of the supporters of this campaign. According to the Love Beyond Walls website, it costs about $100 to build a sink and its goal is to install 100 sinks around the city. You can support Love Sinks In by clicking HERE.

Below is a Palm Sunday update about the Love Sinks In campaign from Terence Lester, executive director of Love Beyond Walls.

Hello World,

Award-winning inspirational hip-hop artist Lecrae will be performing at the Atlanta Hawks annual MLK Day game on Monday, Jan. 20! He will be performing at both halftime and postgame when the Hawks take on the Toronto Raptors.

Lecrae has won two Grammys and nine Dove Awards including the 2019 Album of the Year for his collaboration with Atlanta producer Zaytoven, Let the Trap Say Amen. Lecrae’s ninth album, Restoration, will be released on Reach/Columbia Records in March 2020.

“I’m excited to take the court with Atlanta’s finest. I want the city to come celebrate MLK Day with me and the Hawks,” said Lecrae. “I’m honored to celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. on a historic day.”

The game at State Farm Arena has an early 2:30 p.m. tip off and the Hawks have a special ticket offer for groups of 10 or more to celebrate the MLK Holiday at State Farm Arena. Each ticket as part of the ‘Faith and Family’ offer includes $10 worth of food and beverage credit that can be used at restaurants inside the arena. Fans can go to Hawks.com/Lecrae to learn more.

Along with serving as the annual MLK commemorative match-up, the date is also a Peachtree Night game, which features the Hawks wearing their 2019-20 Nike Peachtree City Edition uniforms and the accompanying Peachtree-themed basketball court. The remaining dates for the Hawks “Peachtree Nights” are:

1/18 vs. Detroit Pistons
