Connected to Organization --- not set --- Opportunity Title DescriptionVisual Text<span style="font-weight: 400">This February, Franklin County Community Meals Program (FCCMP) is putting on their annual lunch bag collection drive. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">The Bonus Bag Brigade event’s goal is to engage the community in helping to keep the community fed! </span> <span style="font-weight: 400">This event is a lunch bag drive that provides supplemental meals to the Greenfield Community Meal site patrons who come for a hot meal. Each Wednesday FCCMP gives out 70-90 bagged lunches in addition to hundreds of hot meals at the Greenfield Community Meal site to ensure no one goes hungry when a community meal is unavailable. Many patrons benefit from having non-perishable foods available to supplement the community meals available throughout the week. Additionally, these bags provide a steady resource to the community when the community meals are not in operation. They are stored and made available at the Second Congregational Church as a resource that church administration can hand out to anyone who comes looking for a meal any time of day. </span> <span style="font-weight: 400">This event is a fun and easy way for families and kids to get involved in their community. Families can help by</span><b> joining the </b><b><i>Bonus Bag Brigade</i></b><b>.
