Brown Bags: Friday July 13

You are here: Home / Blog / Brown Bags: Friday July 13

By Betsy Toll

Our Brown Bag program is simple: No questions, no judgement. Just food. 

Two brown paper lunch bags on wooden table.

  • 8:30 am to 12 noon on the second Friday of every month.
  • Gather at 8:30 am to prepare food at Friends Meeting House, 4312 Southeast Stark Street, Portland[MAP].
  • From 10:00 am to 12 noon, help deliver lunches to folks on the streets.Providing healthy lunches through the Brown Bags Project

We make 100-150 nourishing lunches on Brown Bag days (with hot homemade soup in cold weather), so anyone we meet can have a good meal that day. And the more of us that show up to help, the more lunches we can give away. Simple.

Everyone needs to eat, right? Come lend a hand!

No experience needed, just a kind heart and a couple of hours.  Please let us know if you can come or if you have any questions.

Brown Bags provide hearty meals rain or shine – with warmth, friendship, and respect – so everyone who gets a Brown Bag will have at least one full meal that day.

Can’t help on Fridays? Donate these items:

  • Home-made or store-bought applesauce
  • Hard-boiled eggs
  • Cookies, brownies, and muffins
  • Nutritious snacks (mini carrots, etc.)
  • Good quality fresh fruit
  • Home-made soup October thru April (we keep it hot to serve on the spot)

Not a cook or foodie but still want to help?

Offer a few bucks. It will help us fill the bags, and that’s a huge help! Each hearty, hand-delivered lunch costs about $3.50, so a $5 gift covers that and more. $25 will get a good meal to 7 people. And $50 will give 14-15 people food that day. Donations to Living Earth are even tax-deductible.

DONATE

Every gift makes a difference!

Other ways to help:

Solicit food donations from grocers and bakeries where you shop. Ask friends or local businesses to donate in support this project. We’re a registered nonprofit organization and every donation makes a difference. Contact us for more info.
