The Brown Bag Ministry prepares and distributes brown bag lunches to the homeless every Saturday at Moore’s Square in downtown Raleigh, and once a month prepares a hot meal and feeds 75-125 homeless and those in need in Raleigh.
The Brown Bag Ministry is in need of volunteers to help prepare the brown bag lunches to be distributed weekly.
We also accept cash, food and goods. See our donations page for additional information.
Update! Beginning in June, the Brown Bag Ministry is expanding its services to reach out to our neighbors in Siler City. With the recent closing of the chicken manufacturing plants, we have learned of a great need for help with groceries and household products. Our goal is to prepare 200 grocery bags to be delivered to Siler City on the 2nd Saturday of each month. In order to meet this goal, we will need your help. Please See our donations page for additional information.
The Brown Bag Ministry would like to extent a heartfelt thank you to St. Andrew's Boy Scout Troop 316. The boys in this troop collected over 1,000 pounds (1/2 ton) of food for our Siler City outreach. Top contributors were John Kocor, Brandon Cox, and John Kastl. Through the efforts of the 14 scouts that participated, many mouths will be fed.
The following items are needed on a weekly basis to be put into brown bag lunches:
Please contact Mary Jo and she will make arrangements to pick up the items at a time and place that is convenient to you.
We are an official non-profit organization.
All donations are tax deductible.
