Soup kitchen seeks sack lunch items
GREENFIELD — Kenneth Butler Memorial Soup Kitchen seeks Sack Lunch Superheroes to donate food supplies.
Sack lunches are handed out on Fridays to provide food to those in need through the weekends.
To spread awareness as well as gratitude, those who donate sack lunch essentials will be recognized on the soup kitchen’s social media as Sack Lunch Superheroes each week.
Each sack lunch includes a sandwich, chips, fresh fruit, pudding, jello or fruit cups, individual cereals, pop tarts, granola bars, cookies and cheese or peanut butter crackers.
The sacks are assembled on Thursdays, but the sandwiches are made by a team of three volunteers on Friday mornings.
The sack lunches are distributed at the soup kitchen during the lunch and dinner hours, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5-7 p.m.
Recipients sign up for the sack lunches throughout the week, so the kitchen staff and volunteers know how many to prepare. Typically, 40 to 45 sack lunches are handed out each week, or 160 each month.
