Summer Lunch Program


Every summer, once school lets out, we start taking sack lunches to three locations in Lee's Summit that are considered food insecure. Kids can come at a designated time each weekday to get a lunch they can take home, and they can also choose a book to keep.

This takes a lot of people and a lot of resources. Here are ways that you can help:

YOUR TIME 

Lunch Prep: We prep lunches at the Mission Center five days per week. Spend one hour one or more days per week making sack lunches.

Delivery: After the lunches are ready, we load them up and take them to our three locations. Two or more people deliver to all three locations. Then, they return leftovers to the Mission Building, record how many lunches we served that day, and let the "shoppers" know what is needed for the next day. This takes approximately one hour per day.

YOUR RESOURCES

Summer Lunch makes a LOT of sandwiches every day! We can really use donations of:

-Creamy peanut butter (Squeeze bottles are preferred)

-Strawberry or grape jelly (Squeeze bottles are preferred)

-Individually packaged pretzels & chips

-Granola bars

-Protein bars

-Applesauce cups

-Fruit cups

-Gently used or new books for toddler - high school

-Monetary donations to be used for fresh fruit, meat for sandwiches, and bread

Please mark any donations as "SUMMER LUNCH" and bring them to the church office M-F 9-4 or on Sunday during services.

If you are interested in lunch prep or delivery, please contact Ann Williams.
