TOPEKA - Give Lunch

Help Harvesters have nonperishable ready-to-eat meals available for disaster relief response by donating Give Lunch bags. 

 

The Give Lunch program has two components: a food or fund drive followed by a volunteer activity.

 

Food and Fund Drive:

• Collect food to put in each sack.
• Collecting items in bulk or asking several volunteers to purchase food in bulk after collecting monetary donations works very well for this drive. 
• If you are able to raise $2,000 or more, we suggest you purchase your food items through Harvesters’ Give Lunch Partner, Sysco. Sysco will provide better than retail pricing and will deliver the product directly to you. See more detailed information about this partnership at the bottom of this page.   

Each Sack Should Include: 

• Whole grain item (crackers or pretzels)
• Protein item (single serving canned meat with a pop top, shelf stable hummus or sun butter, or chicken/tuna salad) 
• Shelf stable milk, bottled water, or juice box (100% juice) 
• Snack items (individually packaged raisins or trail mix) 
• Fruit Cup with pop-top or applesauce
• Granola bar 

Volunteer Activity:

1. Harvesters will provide brown paper sacks, boxes, utensils, and personalized “This sack was packed by…” stickers to your group or organization. 
2. Gather volunteers to pack the individual sacks. 
3. Place 9 sacks into each box. 
4. Deliver your completed sacks to Harvesters*

*If you pack more sacks than will fit in your personal vehicle, please contact us to arrange pickup.
