Lunches for homeless folks, the poor
Vets for peace will also be handing out bagged lunches to the homeless folks, veterans and neighbors, who live in the surrounding area. We've had quite a bit of success in the past doing these lunches made up of food donated by our members. The lunch bags will be packed on location so the individuals can choose some of the items to go in the bags.
If you plan to attend please help out by bringing some sandwiches. If you make meat sandwiches don't add mayo or mustard as we have packets of mustard, mayo, and relish on hand and please label the type of sandwich on the baggies. We can also use some fresh softer fruit - bananas and oranges and also some pop top individual serving canned beans.
