In eastern Wisconsin under regular circumstances, 1 in 10 people are struggling with hunger. Today, the disrupted food chains, the unexpected loss of income, the additional needs and quickly revised emergency food services have only added increased strain onto what was already an ongoing challenge.
Just One More Ministry, located in Glendale, is an organization that rescues excess food from area restaurants, food suppliers and caterers and repackages it for shelters, food pantries and community members in need. One way they are able to reach families and children quickly and easily is through the distribution of bagged lunches. These lunches are easy to distribute with minimal contact and will be distributed as quickly as they are received.
Purpose: We will assist residents throughout the Greater Milwaukee community struggling with food insecurity. Children will assemble and pack lunches according to their ability. It is a fun project that will show our children that helping others is accessible as well as enjoyable!
Impact: We hope that all of the children participating will grow in awareness of their capability to help others when their community needs it most and how even parts of their everyday life can be utilized to help others.
Activities: Your family will assemble 20 lunches including a sandwich (peanut butter and jelly or meat and cheese with no condiments) wrapped in a plastic sandwich bag, a piece of fruit (orange/clementine, banana, or apple), and an inspirational note/care card (or whatever beautiful decorations your littles wish to create). If you would like to include an additional treat or snack, feel free though it is completely optional. Once you’ve assembled the lunch items, place them all into a paper lunch bag. Sandwiches should remain separate from the other lunch elements. Just One More Ministry will be freezing them prior to delivery to ensure health safety.

Kids Impact Community strives to provide an environment where all children and families feel safe and affirmed, valued and reflected. We are unaffiliated with any faith traditions or other organizations. We partner with diverse, established, and effective organizations within Milwaukee that, like us, recognize the capability of children to make change, serve others, and build relationships.
