Make Brown Bag Lunches
BRIDGES delivers 75,000 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:

  • Meat sandwich (see sandwich-making guidelines below)

  • Fruit: grapes, clementines, bananas, pears & other soft fruit or fruit cups with spoons; no apples, please

  • Snacks: chips, cakes, cookies, cereal bars, candy

  • Drink: juice box or water

  • Napkin

Guidelines for Sandwich 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.

  • Avoid mayonnaise in warm weather.

  • Many of our friends have dental problems; please purchase soft fruit (no apples, please.)

  • Fruit cups are a good alternative to fresh fruit - please remember spoons.

  • Large packages of cookies may be divided and bagged.
