Warm a Heart Lift a Spirit- Making Lunches for Mission

Lemont Starbucks & Hope and Friendship Ministries have united to create a volunteer opportunity for out community to participate in:  we will create "sack lunches with spirit" to be distributed to Morningstar Mission in Joliet.

The Lunches will be assembled just before Valentines Day on February 12th at 11am at Starbucks (1251 State St,. Lemont) and then delivered by Hope and Friendship to friends at Morningstar Mission for their Valentine's Day Lunch. 

Collection of non-perishable snacks, juice boxes, small Gatorades or water, snack bags of chips/pretzels, other lunch items and uplifting notes/Valentines will begin on Feb 1st (drop box at Starbucks) hoping for donations of lunch meat & bread in the days prior to Feb 12th.

Then Join us on Feb 12th- bring the kids, family, friends, your valentine, and assist us in creating lunches that will warm a heart and lift a spirit.

Community groups of all ages are encouraged to assist by creating short notes (these notes may be just the right words at a most difficult time;  a note and/or valentine that will be treasured- perhaps kept in a wallet or bag and read and reread for a very long time to come)

We are also collecting funds for $5 gift cards.  Any funds collected will be used to purchase gift cards to McDonalds, Burger King, and Subway.  This will enable those receiving this lunch to have another lunch as a gift from a friend.  Donations or gift cards can be dropped off at a drop box located at Starbucks or mailed to Hope and Friendship 721 Hickory St. Lemont
