What is the PB&J Ministry?
Every week, volunteers from St. Susuanna make over 650 Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches and 100 sack lunches that are then delivered to the St. Anthony Center in Downtown Cincinnati on Monday morning. There they are distributed to the many local homeless and poor people. Many recipients arrive as early as 5:00am to get in line for a day job, and do not get out of line when the soup kitchens open at 8:00am because they do not want to lose their spot in line. Each week, the following ingredients are used:
700 ounces of Peanut Butter 500 ounces of Jelly 65 loaves of bread, or enough buns for 650 sandwiches 100 drink boxes
100 pieces of fruit100 servings of cookies or snacks 650 plastic sandwich bags for sandwiches
100 ziplock bags for cookies/snacks100 Oversized or 8lb lunch bags -
How Can you help?
- Volunteers are needed to pick up supplies to make 60-70 sandwiches on a given Saturday, and then make and return them to the Fr. Dan Schuh Center on Sunday.
- Those that like to drive, might like to help deliver the lunches on a Monday morning to the St. Anthony Center in Downtown Cincinnati.
- Anyone with a love to draw, could help with decorating lunch bags made with love. This is truly a gift to the recipients.
- Maybe you are good at encouraging people, and could type up 100 notes to slip in the sack lunches?
