St. Mary's Food Kitchen

IMPORTANT NOTE from MICK KELLY 

Helpful Information for Volunteers:

We continue to have a need to provide meals for the less fortunate, especially in this unprecedented time that we are in. Our parish serves meals at St. Mary’s Food Kitchen the third Thursday each month. Due to the pandemic situation, we are providing sack lunches to be distributed to the needy.  We ask if you volunteer to provide sack lunches that you prepare them as directed below and then deliver them to the circle drive in front of Holy Trinity on the specified date between 8AM and 9AM. We'll have volunteers to receive these sack lunches from you and they will deliver them to the food kitchen in downtown Kansas City, KS.

Here is what would be needed in each sack lunch:

One sandwich (a typical loaf of white or wheat bread should allow for making 10 sandwiches).

•  1 or 2 slices of ham, roast beef, chicken, or turkey type deli meat
•  One slice of cheese (American, Colby, Cheddar, or similar mild cheese
•  One piece of fruit (a banana or orange for example, no apples please
• One individual bag of chips or crackers
• One dessert such as cookies, brownie square, dessert bar, etc ...
• One napkin
•  One bottle of water (12 to 16 ounce)

Sandwiches and desserts (if necessary) should be individually wrapped in plastic bags. The entire contents of each sack lunch should be put in a plastic (not paper) bag such as the type of bag that is used to bag groceries at Hy-Vee, Walmart, Target, etc ... The reason for this is that the weight of each bag (including the bottle of water) tends to be too heavy for a typical brown paper lunch sack. This could be a fun family activity to prepare these 10 sack lunches while continuing to focus on serving others in this particular time of need.
