Volunteer: Provide Sack LunchesPurchase, assemble, and deliver 180-200 Sack Lunches for Wheeler Mission's Shelter for Men!
We need YOUR help to make sure sack lunches are supplied for our guests. Sack lunches typically supplement our hot meals and are a huge help to our Kitchen Staff! This is a great way to help Wheeler Mission offsite.
We DO have the ability to refrigerate so things like string cheese would be great, too. Please prepare in a brown lunch sack with the date listed on the outside of the bag in Sharpie marker. This opportunity is off-site, not at a Wheeler Mission facility. We prefer lunches to be prepared in a commercial kitchen. If that is not possible, we ask that you strongly follow the guidelines listed below: NOT signing up for this opportunity if you aren't feeling well, have been exposed to COVID-19 or other infections, are currently under quarantine measures, etc. Using pre-packaged food items when possible, Wearing gloves while preparing the food, and Ensuring your workstation(s) are sanitized.
When should I bring the lunches?: You'll sign up for a shift that's from 9 am-10 am, but that's just a placeholder! You can bring them any time between 9 am-5 pm. What if I can only provide some of what's requested?: If you are able to bring at least half, please sign up for the shift as usual. If you can bring less than half, please plan to come, but leave the shift open for others to sign up, too! Where do I find a commercial kitchen? Try your local church! Most churches have a commercial kitchen on-site. If you're not able to find a location, feel free to use ours! Coordinate with a Volunteer Engagement Manager to set this up.
