Mt. Bethel Church MUST Summer Lunch Program Archives

Mt. Bethel Church and MUST Ministries are accepting donations and seeking volunteers to help with its Summer Lunch Program.

The program aims to feed around 8,000 children in Cobb County for nine weeks during the summer.

Volunteers have begun assembling meal kits that will be distributed until the end of July. In addition to financial donations, participants can also shop for food for the program via Amazon and help deliver meals.

MUST estimates that 43,000 children in Cobb County received free or reduced-price lunches during the school year—roughly 40 percent of the school system enrollment.

Furthermore, around 24,000 children are considered transient, and another 2,700 homeless:

“We will be packing and delivering Meal Kits each Wednesday, beginning May 31, with donations accepted any day of the week. Why not make this opportunity to serve a family affair? You and your family can be part of our efforts to feed the children who experience food insecurity in Cobb County and BE the hands and feet of Jesus!”

Donations will be accepted through July 25.

MUST Ministries is once again feeding needy children during the summer months, when school is out, and various Cobb organizations are providing assistance.

MUST’s goal is to provide breakfast and lunch to at least 6,000 children for nine weeks, and to distribute an estimated 540,000 meals in six counties (Cobb, Cherokee, Douglas, Fulton, Paulding, Gwinnett).

Mt. Bethel Church in East Cobb has produced a flyer outlining food items that it will be collecting, as well as “mind, body and soul kits.”

At Mt. Bethel, the collection day is Wednesday. Barrels are located at the entrance to the Mt. Bethel kitchen.

Items also can be ordered from Amazon and delivered to:

The church also is accepting financial donations that can be mailed or dropped off at the financial office, and is seeking volunteers to pack and deliver boxes to families in need.
