Food Donation/Bagged Dinners
The Weinberg Housing and Resource Center/Catholic Charities of Maryland
Date/Time: May 1 - 5, Drop-off times: 7am - 3pm or 5 - 7pm
Location: 620 Fallsway, Baltimore
Each night, about 150 guests board a shuttle on their way to an overflow shelter. The WHRC aims to provide a bag dinner each day for these guests -- at the minimum, a sandwich for each guest, but ideally a full bag dinner. Most of these guests won't eat if we don't feed them, so the support means a lot. Consider donating any of the following items, packing the bag dinners and dropping them off, or donating a collection of full bag dinners. Any amount helps! One complete bagged dinner includes:
- A sandwich (PB&J or turkey - option to include cheese - white OR wheat bread okay)
- Juice box
- Bottle of water
- Orange or other fruit (no apples, please - many of our residents are unable to chew them)
- Snack (pretzels, chips, etc.)
- Dessert treat (cookie, brownie, etc.)
Please put sandwiches in a plastic Ziploc-style bag, and put the dinner items in a brown paper bag. It's a great idea for families, groups or schools to decorate the paper bags too
.
Please do not include any raw meat items!
Ages: Families are welcome to participate
Time Commitment: Varies
