Our Charity - The Mustard Seed School Lunch Program
About The Charity
The Mustard Seed School Lunch Program is designed to meet a need in our community by providing nutritious lunches to vulnerable students all across Red Deer. Every school day, volunteers make between 350-400 lunches that are delivered directly to over 30 schools. In 2018, they made 56,000 lunches for hungry kids right here in Red Deer! This program is made possible by the generous support of many donors and volunteers.
Keeping proper nutrition in mind, the lunches they pack include a whole wheat sandwich, a serving of fresh fruits and vegetables, and a snack item (cookie, muffin, granola bar etc.) All of the lunches are made fresh in house the day that they are delivered and are nut free. They are always looking for donations of fresh fruit and nut free snacks, as well as the gift of time. They presently have openings for early morning sandwich makers and delivery drivers. Please contact their volunteer coordinator for more info... cassidyfegan@theseed.ca
100% of all donations for The Mustard Seed School Lunch Program received through the Red Deer PCN Women's Fun Run will go to benefit children in our community.
