OUR LITTLE BAGGED LUNCH MISSION
Our little bagged lunch mission of feeding and caring for those in need has truly been a human connection of hearts and hands ~ the hearts and hands of those preparing lunches to the hearts and hands of those receiving. We ask each person to provide 10 bagged lunches or more if you are able. The bagged lunches should include:
 A meat and cheese sandwich of any kind, any variation, or just meat, or just cheese – Please NO PB&J due to peanut allergies.
 Any type of bread, EXCEPT with seeds
 a sweet treat/dessert, chips, something crunchy
 fruit cup or pudding cup or applesauce (only if possible)
 No fresh fruit with a skin at this time, as in apple, pears; oranges/tangerines, bananas are fine
Please feel free to write a note of encouragement or greeting or a drawing on the outside of the bag brings a smile to those receiving the same and lets them know they are not forgotten.

  • The American Medical Association defines domestic violence as an ongoing, debilitating experience of physical, psychological, and/or sexual abuse.
  • The leading cause of injury for women age 15 to 44 is domestic violence.

AL-ANON
Alcoholism is a family disease. Living with the effects of someone else’s drinking is too devastating for most people to bear without help. In Al-Anon we learn individuals are not responsible for another person’s disease or recovery from it. If you are bothered by someone’s drinking, Al-Anon is for you!
