Free summer lunches
The free summer lunch program started in 2018, Lunches where distributed at Lamar Park in Milton Monday through Friday at 11:30. Volunteers from the church and community prepare and serve sandwiches, chips, sweets and water most days. Some days there was pasta and meat sauce, walking tacos, pizza, corn dogs or hot dogs. 2612 meals were served that summer.
Summer 2019 lunch was again served in Lamar Park, the menu was pretty much the same and so were our volunteers. We served 5000 meals.
Summer 2020 lunch was served from the parking lots of Consolidated Elementary
school and the church parking lot. This summer we served 8121 lunches. Approximately 3249 sandwiches were made this summer, 11 cases of apples and 11 cases of baby carrots provided.
Summer 2024 lunch was served as a drive through at Milton United Methodist Church and North Goodrich Park Monday through Thursday. Friday lunches were provided with the Thursday lunches. Families were encouraged to sign up weekly to ensure that enough meals were prepared. More than 8, thousand lunches were served.
