*THIS OPPORTUNITY REQUIRES YOU TO PURCHASE ITEMS OR SOLICIT DONATIONS*
Pack and donate typical school-like non-perishable lunches for homeless guests of Project Hope for the Homeless, Lake County's only homeless shelter. Packing lunches for Project Hope guests can be a rewarding & fun project for individuals, families & groups. Not all guests daily request a lunch--so feel free to donate an amount that is comfortable for you. Since the daily amount of need varies, a properly packed sack lunch needs to be appropriate for storing to ensure that when the need arises, healthy lunches will be fresh & available.
GREAT FOR:
- Girl/Boy Scouts
- Youth clubs
- Schools/classrooms
- Churches
- Civic clubs
- Professional groups
- Workplace philanthropy
Collect & Pack items such as:
- Water bottle
- Granola & Nutri-Grain bars
- Individual servings of pudding, applesauce or fruit
- Individual servings of chips, crackers & snacks
- . However, they will spoil quickly. If you would like to, please bring sandwich fixings separate from the sack lunches. Our volunteers can make the sandwiches when needed.
Fruit will also quickly go bad. If fresh fruit is to be included, please make sure it is one that will not ripen too quickly.
You may include a note of encouragement or kind thoughts. Refrain from including personal information.
To arrange times, dates and collection drives, please call the volunteer coordinator in advance. Your donation saves time and money, and lets the recipient know they are valued.
Thank you!
