Make Brown Bag Lunches

Bridges delivers 100,000 brown bag lunches each year. This is a great opportunity to have a lunch-making party with your family, neighbors, colleagues or service organization. It's fun, energizing, builds spirit and camaraderie among friends and is meaningful, enlightening and rewarding.

Prepare and deliver to Bridges any number of lunches for delivery on Friday (for Saturday and Sunday delivery contact us first.)

Each Bag Should Contain:

  • Savory Snacks: chips, pretzels
  • Sweet Snacks: cookies, cakes, candy
  • Drink: juice box or water

Guidelines for Lunch Making

  • Wash hands and use surgical gloves.
  • Approximately one pound of meat makes six to eight sandwiches.
  • Loaves of bread vary in size.
  • Call a grocery store a day or two ahead to order sliced meat.
  • Warehouse stores are a good place to buy fruit, drinks, and treats.
  • Use mayonnaise and mustard packets, if possible.
