Our goal is to make 300 bagged lunches for the FBMS sites all over the South Shore. We are still planning to hold our event in person, but there are options for people who would like to participate at home. For those at home, we’ll be asking volunteers to sign up and pledge a number of bagged lunches that they will be making on MLK Day. 

We’ll be making bagged lunches at the Richard J. Koch Park & Rec Complex (1 Merrymount Parkway Quincy, MA 02170) from 10 am to 12 pm. It is a large indoor space that we safely used last year. For anyone who will be delivering bagged lunches the rest of the week, we will have bagged lunches ready for pick up that day.

We’ll be supplying Father Bill’s & MainSpring locations in Quincy and Brockton. They have informed us of which locations can accept bagged lunches on specified days and times. We’re looking for volunteers who would be able to help with picking up bagged lunches from homes on MLK day and to deliver bagged lunches on January 16-19.

Any families that want to take part at home are encouraged to donate the supplies for their bagged lunches, following the guidance from Father Bill’s & MainSpring. You can see the supplies needed here. However we know that might not be possible for all who want to volunteer. We will have bagged lunch supplies available for pick up at 10 am at the Park & Rec Complex. This must be arranged in advanced.

We're also fundraising donations to cover the cost of food and material for Quincy Dems-supplied lunches (any unused funds raised will be donated to FBMS) here
