Sunfield United Brethren Church sponsored a community-wide free Summer Sack Lunch program for all children available Monday-Friday throughout the summer. Lunch was taken down daily to the local park, and any extra sack lunches were sent home with the children on Fridays to ensure they had meals on the weekends as well.
We averaged 25 children per day and served a total of 1,320 meals. Wednesday, September 5, was the last day of the program and we had a Pizza Party Celebration, as well as ice cream and water balloons. The program was a blessing to many families in need in our community and they are looking forward to next year’s Summer Sack Lunch Program.
A lot more photos can be found on Sunfield’s Facebook page.
