Lunch Contents

Some people have asked, "What were in the lunches that you made?"  So here is a list of the contents:

* Turkey sandwich
* Granola bar
* Apple
* Pair of gloves

It's nothing groundbreaking, but for someone who has doesn't know where their next meal is coming from, it could be a feast.  Here was my shopping list at the grocery store:

* 2 lbs. of turkey
* 1 loaf of wheat bread (contains 20 slices, perfect for 10 sandwiches)
* 1 box of granola bars, 10 ct.
* 10 golden delicious apples
* 2 packages of 6 "jersey gloves" (the simple knit gloves)

The total cost was $30 (that doesn't include the brown paper sacks and plastic sandwich bags I already had).  There are so many commercial slogans that could apply here....so easy a caveman could do it....10 lunches, $30.  Creatively serving 10 people, priceless.

It's simple.  It's fun.  You should do it.  Or you should think of your own unique way to serve the less fortunate and do that!

  2. You should definitely do it. You guys should start taking the "10 Lunches Challenge." More info on that later.
