Kids Can’s Next Lunch Challenge Has Been Set!

Kids Can’s next lunch challenge will be held on Sunday, March 9, 2014 at Logan’s house in Cooper City from 2:00pm – 4:00pm (directions will be given to you when you RSVP).

These individual lunches will be donated to LIFENET4FAMILIES, whose organization not only feeds the homeless, but families who just can’t make ends meet as well. We know that Kids CAN do it!!

Space is limited so please RSVP as soon as possible! The lunches we’ll be making will be: PB&J sandwiches, individual chip bags and a juice box that will all be placed into individual lunch bags. Remember – all children must be accompanied by an adult! Last month, we had kids as young as 3 and even some pre-teens and some grandparents take part in the event and we made over 200 bag lunches!

We will be doing the shopping for you, so just bring $5.00 per child and we’ll supply the loaves of bread, peanut butter, jelly, small bags of chips, juice boxes and brown lunch bags.
