Now it is up to the rest of us to help in making lunches! Sandy is asking for many hands to gather to make 800 sandwiches in the DOD at 8:00 AM on Tuesday , June 20.
- The Griffins and Coelhos have agreed to co-chair the organization and implementation for CUC to participate in the MUST lunch program. Jim Boswell has agreed to manage the financial side of the program.
- This information should be helpful for you to decide how many lunches you would like to support. Completed Peanut butter ‘n’ Jelly lunch will be $1.00, Complete Ham and Cheese lunch is $1.35. Complete Turkey and Cheese lunch is $1.45. Three (3) families are already giving a check for $500 each and we encourage you to be prayerful and consider making a nice contribution.
