Special Instructions

In 2020/21, the center was trying to feed about 30 people per day. Now, we are trying to get a hot meal into 45 - 60 people six days/week (Closed Monday). We also like to send folks "home" with one or two sandwiches and snacks for an evening meal.

Favorite Meals or Restaurants

We happily accept large gift cards from any restaurant in Bristol! We use these to buy lunch for the center on days when we do not have any volunteer donations. When possible, support small local businesses. Small gift cards for $5 and $10 are really needed so folks can get into air conditioned food places during Summer heat or warm places during freezing Winter days when our center is closed.

Meal Instructions

HOT MEALS: Lately, 50+ people are showing up here, six days per week, in need of a hot meal. We are capable of dishing out hot food from large serving trays or crock pots. Try to let us know what you are planning to bring for hot food so other volunteers can fill in other items like veggies, sides or salads. Or, team up with a friend who is willing to do the side dishes of rice, hot veggies, baked potatoes, salads... We do NOT have an oven or large microwave to heat food. We are always in need of disposable plates, paper bowls, utensils, hot or cold cups, napkins, fresh fruit ... If you have the time and talent to cook more often, we can supply some ingredients from donations we have on-site (soup bases, stock, veggies, instant mashed potatoes, beans, instant rice...). When you drop off a meal, pick up some supplies for your next volunteer day. SANDWICHES: The sandwiches can be anything you choose to make (except anything containing mayo - so no tuna salad, chicken salad or egg salad). Ideally 60-80 small sandwiches OR 40-60 large grinders so that each lunch guest could leave with one or two. Please do not add condiments, tomato or lettuce. Package into individual sandwich bags and then stack them back into the bread bags, 10 sandwiches per loaf bag. Be mindful that these will be the evening meal and will not be eaten until many hours after they are delivered.

Groceries Instructions

We always need snack items to add to the evening to-go bags. Here are some ideas: Fresh Fruit Tuna “envelopes” String Cheese Yogurt Fruit Cups Pudding Cups Pop Tarts Bottled Water Hard boiled eggs Cookies Crackers Chips $5 or $10 McD, DD or local restaurant gift cards You can see some more ideas on our Amazon Wish List here: https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2HWU1OOOVM3NF/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2 .
