Lunch Pack and Love

Just One More Ministry, located in Glendale, is an organization that rescues excess food from area restaurants, food suppliers, and caterers and repackages them for shelters, food pantries, and community members in need.

Inflation and rising grocery prices continue to disrupt the organization’s regular streams of food, and they are in need of additional support through packed bagged lunches. These lunches are easy to distribute and are handed out as quickly as they are received. This is a helpful dinner option for kids if their housing lacks the appliances needed to heat and prepare food.

Activities

Your family will assemble 20 lunches. Your family/group will pack a piece of fruit, an inspirational care card, and an additional treat or snack (optional) in a paper bag. Separately, your group will make the sandwiches (peanut butter and jelly or meat and cheese with no condiments), wrap them in a plastic sandwich bag, and repack them in the bread bag.

Purpose

Kids will assist residents throughout the Greater Milwaukee community struggling with food insecurity.

Impact

Kids will gain awareness and understanding of how they can help their community in need and have fun along the way!

When & Where

Your family will complete this project in your own home following food safety guidelines.

Drop off the packed lunches outside a KIC family home (Bayside/Whitefish Bay/southside of Milwaukee/west side of Milwaukee – specific addresses will be provided after sign-up.) between 1-8 p.m. on Sunday, July 23. We will deliver all lunches to Just One More Ministry for distribution on July 24.

In order to ensure meals are safe to be distributed throughout our community, volunteers must meet specific requirements to be eligible to assemble the lunches. You must confirm that all statements below are true for you and anyone in your household where lunches will be packed. (You will sign this waiver on the next screen).

In order to assure food safety in preparing food for the community in your own home, all volunteers must agree to:

4) To ensure health and safety in preparing food for people outside of our own families, we also ask that everyone two years of age and older wear a cloth face covering while preparing the sandwiches.
