For the past two weeks, we had a volunteer make sandwiches for us. Every day, she would come in at 2pm, pass out sandwiches, and stay for an hour to chat with our members.

Our members are sad to hear that her busy schedule won’t allow her to come in anymore with any regularity. They appreciated her sandwiches and her time so much that our members got together on their own and made her a card.

They came into the office asking for markers or colored pencils, but all we had were a few highlighters and permanent markers. Using these few supplies, they took turns outlining and coloring, using the blue and yellow highlighters to color in green lettuce. The artists walked around and asked everyone to sign it. It was such an awesome sight.

We have some great members here. They appreciate all of our sandwich donors, but especially love those who take the time to personally hand them out and hang out for a few minutes. If you have some time, drop by and say hello!

Happy Holidays! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday surrounded by loved ones. Thank you to everyone who has donated sandwiches, hats, scarves, gloves, toothbrushes, washcloths, and socks. You have been a tremendous help, and our members appreciate everything you’re doing to help keep them warm.

If you are in the DC area this week and have a bit of time, would you please consider making sandwiches and bringing them in to the center? With people on vacation and out of town, there has been a lull in sandwich donations. Can you help us out this Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday?

Questions – please call Stephanie at 202-338-8301. Thank you!

This past Saturday, October 29, the Brownie Troop of board member Jocelyn Dyer’s daughter made bagged lunches for the guests at Georgetown Ministry Center. Nutritious and delicious, each bag contained a sandwich, an apple, and a granola bar. The Brownie Troop also decorated each lunch bag– check out the pictures we took of some of the bags.

Thank you so much for the lunches!

Have you ever wanted to donate sandwiches, but didn’t because you can’t make the commitment or don’t know if it’s for you?

This Thursday is your chance to try it out and help out Georgetown Ministry Center! Our regular Thursday sandwich donor is unable to come this week, leaving us with an empty slot in our calendar and even emptier bellies in our center. These sandwiches help our guests make it from one meal to the next.

Sisters Paige and Elizabeth Hill recently discovered how fun and how easy donating sandwiches can be. Read about their experience on our blog here.

Interested in bringing sandwiches? Please contact Stephanie, Program Coordinator, at stephanie@gmcgt.org or call her at 202-338-8301.

GMC is happy to welcome Paige Hill and her sister, Elizabeth, to our list of sandwich donors! This past Monday the two of them made sandwiches for us. Read on to hear about their experience!

When my sister and I heard that the Georgetown Ministry Center could use some more help with their daily sandwich donations, we decided to pitch in. By partnering up, we thought many hands make light work and boy, were we right. The hours of time we initially dedicated to the project weren’t necessary; because, in total the project took about 25 minutes and cost us less than $20. An easy contribution for very worthy recipients: the lunch guests at the GMC this past Monday.

It only takes two and half loaves of bread, a large jar of peanut butter and a large jar of jelly to help out the GMC! We were finished in less than a half hour and had leftovers for our lunches, as well.

We added a bag of clementines and small boxes of raisins to our contribution — healthy snacks! We were able to keep our costs under $20 all together, and best of all, we heard that our lunches were well-received…Next time we’re going to contribute on a weekend day so we can stay and meet the guests.

If you’re looking for a way to help members of your local community, donate sandwiches to the Georgetown Ministry Center!
