The Auction is Up!

The Lunch Bunch auction is up! We have 33 prints, paintings, and drawings for auction! More may be added in the next couple days. Here is the link: Lunch Bunch on Ebay

Thank you to everyone who donated prints and original art for our auction! This auction is going to help Lunch Bunch keep providing delicious, nutritious meals and care packages to those in need for many months. We are very grateful to be part of a generous and caring community of artists and collectors!

Remember, each lunch bag we prepare only costs $1.75 per person for ALL of the following: Ham, cheese, and vegetable sandwich, one fruit, one salty snack, one sweet snack, and napkins. Each week the items are changed up a little because we have about 20 regulars that we see each week and we want the bags to be special each time. The rest of the meals are passed out to anyone we come across who is in need of food.

*100% of all proceeds will be used for Lunch Bunch. 

We have raised over $1000 just on the first day!!

Lunch Bunch - Halloween

On Halloween, Mere and I stopped by the 99 cent store to pick up some festive napkins and cookies to include in the meals.


The meals still included our signature burger-sandwiches. If you're questioning why we're using burger buns, its simply because they hold up better than sandwich bread. The thick toast bread works well but its hard to find and sometimes we have to buy multiple packages of bread to make 24 sandwiches. The burger buns are only $3.99 for a package of 24 buns!


The fort people weren't there that day. I'm really curious as to what they're using to hold up the blankets underneath, its pretty amazing. It doesn't seem to have changed since we first started doing Lunch Bunch and has held up through harsh rain.


The lady that lives here told us she used to pass out food to the homeless also, when she used to have a home herself.

2 more weeks of pictures to come! We're a little behind on the posts, unfortunately.

Keep Lunch Bunch In Mind

We at Lunch Bunch dream that we can feed those who are hungry; we believe the most important thing we can give someone is food and water. Food and water are at the core of all the necessities to survive. In order to grow, to breathe, to walk, to function we need nutrients for our bodies.


We are also realists, we understand we can’t feed everyone and we can’t do it all alone. In the next few months we will need help from people who support this dream and realize their help is crucial.


We will be scheduling donation drop offs and pickups. If you have any questions about how to start a donation center at your work or school please contact us. We will gladly go over some simple ideas and set up a weekly pick up. We are also going to be making some warm items for the homeless and will need help.


So just for you information in the next few months pay close attention to Lunch Bunch, we need the dreamers and the realists because it takes all sorts!
