About Got Lunch!
Got Lunch is a local non-profit that buys, packages, and deliver lunch groceries to Newington children every week during the summer. This helps to fill the summer void when there’s no free breakfast and lunch offered through the school.
In 2023, we fed over 170 Newington children, so we’re going into this summer with little to no product or funds, and we need the community’s help. It takes $150 to feed one Newington child during the summer. Please consider donating. 100% of your donations will go towards feeding children in your own community.
OSLC will be collecting peanut butter, jam/jelly, mayonnaise, canned tuna fish in water and canned chicken. Food donations can be left in the narthex.
