Bagged Lunch Project

Thank you for your continued interest and support of the FCC of Milton Bagged Lunch Project. With your help and generosity, we've delivered more than 3000 lunches to Father Bill's & MainSpring homeless shelter since the pandemic began.

Please join us on Monday mornings IN THE NEW YOUTH ROOM (side entrance of the chuch) to pack the lunches, following CDC guidelines. The group is limited to eight people (age 10 and up, with parent if under 14); please bring your own mask and hand sanitizer. A volunteer will drive the lunches to the shelter in Brockton when we are finished.

Anyone at high risk from COVID-19 infection should not attend (see below), but is invited to drop off donations. Anyone who has any symptoms of COVID-19, or has been exposed to someone with symptoms, or a positive test in the last 14 days should not attend.

This project is run by volunteers and completely funded by donations. One hundred percent of your tax deductible donation is used to buy groceries (each lunch costs about $3 to make). Donate at fccmilton.org/give (choose "Bagged Lunch Project" in the drop down menu).

For more information about the project, please visit fccmilton.org/lunch or contact Wendy Garpow (617-910-6195 or [email protected]).

Thank you for helping us reach our goal of 4000 lunches by Labor Day.
