Free sack lunches daily from the Carpenters Cup

On Monday, June 3rd started our sack lunches. Just 3 days in and these lunches have been a huge success! People have donated food, paper products and money. Businesses have really stepped up to help with meals. We have purchased food from the donated money to last us until the end of next week. 

These meals will continue through August 2nd, God willing! We do still have a need for kitchen help and for delivery on the square and at the park just north of the Aquatic Center. 

Donations of food, lunch sacks, sandwich and snack baggies and money can be brought to the Carpenters Cup. Call 660-679-3333 if you have questions about the sack lunches.
