Caritas: Lunch
Lunch Preparation
Thank you for your interest in providing bagged lunches for our guests. Complete the form on the right and let us know which date you are able to bring lunches. We will need 40 lunches each day. Each lunch should include:
Two Sandwiches. One should be peanut butter and jelly, and the other can be meat. We will have condiments to put inside the bags, so please just have meat, cheese and bread. If you prefer, you can use peanut butter crackers in lieu of the peanut butter sandwich.
Something Salty. Chips, pretzels, etc.
Something Sweet. Cookie, rice crispy treat, etc.
Soft Fruit. Banana, grapes, peaches. It is very important that the fruit be soft, as some of the guests may be missing teeth. You may also choose fruit cups or applesauce (remember a spoon!)
Two Drinks. One bottle of water and one juice box.
A Napkin.
Other Guidelines:
Amount. Keep in mind that you will be providing for hungry people that may be working hard, manual labor jobs – the more choices provided, the more blessed they will be!
Packing. The lunches should be put into individual paper bags. Multiple paper bags should then be placed into plastic bags (from grocery stores, etc.) or boxes.
Delivery. Bring the lunches to the church on the evening of the night PRIOR to your designated day between 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. For example: lunch for Thursday should be in the kitchen by Wednesday night.
