Meal Instructions

Hot Lunch Preparation Instructions: Family-style lunch donations for 25 adults contain at minimum three dishes to form a well-balanced and hearty meal – a starch, a protein, and a vegetable. For example, this could include (2 x 9X13) trays of chicken, (2 x 9X13) trays of rice, and (2 x 9X13) trays of broccoli. We also ask that a vegetarian option is included with the main dish (ex. pasta dish w/o meat, vegan meat substitution, etc). You can bring the meal refrigerated/cold and we will warm it! Bagged Lunch Instructions: Should include 25 individually bagged lunches with a sandwich, a fruit, a snack, and a drink. Sandwiches can be PB+J's, deli meat + cheese, chicken, tuna, etc! Snack examples could be a granola bar, bag of chips, pretzels, trail mix, etc. Breakfast Preparation Instructions: We ask that breakfast is hearty and enough to feed 15 people. Similar to lunch, a protein, a starch, and a fruit is preferred. This could be a combination of pancakes, pastries, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit platters, assortments of breads, hash browns, breakfast wraps, etc! Remember, this should not be a “light” (low-calorie, low-fat, etc.) meal–it should be enough to sustain someone for the whole day in case it is the only meal they get. Other sides like cookies, chips, cut fruit, and drinks like seltzer or juice are not required with a lunch drop off but are always appreciated! Please provide an ingredients list so participants can make informed choices based on their preferences and dietary needs/allergies.
