As an organization, we are constantly evaluating what works well and what we need to change. Effective immediately, we are changing the prepared meal plan for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. The Friends of Mission Machine Meal Train will continue, BUT, rather than cooking enough for two meals, these volunteers will now only need to prepare one meal. For the second meal, we are asking additional individuals to provide shelf-stable, pre-prepared items. Ideally, this Supplemental Food contribution would include a protein, carbohydrates and fruit, pre-portioned in 45 BROWN PAPER BAGS. Here is an example of what might be included in each bag: canned sausages, cheese and crackers, a fruit cup and a toaster pastry. (Although these items on their own sound like snacks, when combined, they are meant to replace a meal or meals, so we do want to provide something substantial. Other ideas include: Tuna cans or pouches Nuts Peanut butter and crackers Granola bars Oranges or bananas Applesauce cups Canned Sausages, Cheese and crackers Fruit cup Toaster Pastry Thank you so much for your time & energy in cooking/preparing, and thank you for your heart in loving on our brothers & sisters!
