The Sack Lunch Ministry provides nourishment to homeless and marginally housed people through Open Shelter. The Open Shelter is an advocacy and day services shelter on Parsons Avenue south of Children’s Hospital. Nearly 900 people were served at the Open Shelter in January 2024 alone and more than 250 of those were living on the streets without permanent shelter of any kind. The sack lunches we provide may be the only meal these people get that day.
Each week people from our church prepare sack lunches at home and bring them to the fellowship hall on Sunday morning, so the lunches can be delivered first thing on Monday to the Open Shelter. A single loaf of bread provides the foundation for ten lunches and is a simple way to bless those in need.
If you’d like to contribute to the Sack Lunch Ministry you can pick up lunch bags in the fellowship hall and prepare lunches containing the following items:
