Donate Food
We serve nutritious hot lunches every Monday through Friday (more than 45,500 meals in 2011). A hot breakfast is served on Saturday mornings. Also, emergency food provisions from our food pantry are made available to almost 400 families each month, and that number is growing.
Here is how you can help us feed community members in need:
- Fresh food
We can accept leftover food that has been prepared in a commercial kitchen, such as restaurants and caterers as long as it is labeled with the date, content and name of the organization donating the food.
Due to the Board of Health Regulations, Lunch Break cannot accept food that is prepared in residential kitchens.
- Garden fruits and vegetables
We can accept your fresh garden herbs, fruits and vegetables.
- Non perishable food items for our food pantry
One of our most pressing and ongoing challenges is keeping our pantry shelves stocked with food.
- Food drives
Organize a food drive or become a partner in Lunch Break’s Food Drive Program. For more information go to How to organize a food drive.
Drop off food donations
