Summer Lunch Program

There are currently over 8,000 children living in Cherokee County who are eligible for a free lunch from their school during the school year. However, once school is released for the summer, many of these children often go without a lunch.

Since 1995, MUST Ministries has helped to feed many of these children by delivering them a sack lunch Monday through Friday during the summer months. These lunches consist of a sandwich, a juice box, and two snacks, one being more nutritious than the other.

Anyone can volunteer! We are always in need of drivers to deliver the lunches and individuals to come to the distribution sites to make and pack lunches for the day. Drivers must be 18 years of age or older and all children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Children can help pack, make and handout lunches. Even very young children can color the bags and be given small tasks to complete. It’s a great way to get the whole family involved in the community and help people have a better day!
