Just a couple weeks into its summer lunch program for needy kids, MUST Ministries this week issued a call for the public to help provide food.
In a social media posting Thursday, the Marietta-based social services charity said it’s run out of lunch entree items, and it’s asking for food or monetary donations:
“This can be a single-serve noodle bowl, rice bowls, Hamburger Helper or Chef Boyardee. For example items, please see our Amazon wish list below.
“Week 2 MUST Summer Lunch wrap-up. The last two weeks, we have served nearly double what we were during weeks one and two last year. We have had generous volunteers and donations, but the need is still great. We appreciate everyone who is helping us serve our littlest neighbors in need.
“This is a great opportunity for community groups and churches to get together to build Kids’ Kits to help our littlest neighbors in need this summer. We are serving for 7 more weeks, and will need all the help we can get. Instructions are on our website at mustministries.org/summer-lunch.”
MUST said that if you want to drop off food, you can do so at its donation center at 1280 Field Parkway, from Tuesday-Saturday 9-5. It’s closed Sunday and Monday.
Monetary donations can be made at this link and the Amazon wish list for MUST can be found here.
MUST has been providing summer breakfasts and lunches to children since 1995, and its goal this year is to feed 7,500 children in Cobb and seven other metro Atlanta counties during the summer school break (June and July).
