    Description: Something the whole family can help with is making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the lunches given out during our Sunday outreach operations. Volunteers/groups have the option of providing us with just sandwiches or bagging entire lunches. When only sandwiches are provided, the lunches are bagged by our volunteers at the start of outreach operations on Sunday mornings. Supplies can be provided to you via drop-off by one of our other volunteers or by making arrangements to pick up supplies at our storage unit. Pre-arranged pickups of sandwiches/lunches may be able to be arranged for Saturday evenings or Sunday mornings in instances where the volunteer is unable to deliver to the outreach location.
