Fruits, Bagels, and Veggies for a Twist


The CE Lunch, served at Sprouts from 11:30am-1:30pm today, was a great success thanks to our dedicated volunteers and the food lovers who showed up to support us once again!

Like always, the meal was hearty yet healthy - which translated into a menu that is filling, tasty, packed with plenty of good stuff:

Today's Menu
Long Grain Brown Rice
Roasted Vegetables (stunningly colorful peppers and carrots with rosemary)
Lentil Curry
featuring corn, cauliflower, broccoli, and other vegetables

Benny's Bagels

Fruit platter
of a variety of fruits ranging from grapes, apple slices, pears, cantaloupes, persimmons, watermelon, and lots of bananas


We have been working diligently to overcoming the challenging of finding consistent sources of donations from local grocers, and we would appreciate any input or suggestions! If you are interested in volunteering, whether it be for the exciting pick-up shifts (added bonus: great workout!), the chopping and cooking (excellent way to get the tips of cooking healthy food), or the serving shifts (wonderful opportunity to meeting fellow food lovers), please contact Emma, our lovely volunteering coordinator at communityeats.volunteers@gmail.com
Hope you all enjoyed your lunches today, and we want to see you again, with your containers, at the NEXT CE LUNCH: Friday, Nov. 7th' 2008!

SCHEDULE CHANGE!!!!

please note:
this week October 10th the lunch will not be happening.
we will, however be offering free bagels given by donation from Benny's Bagels.

we are really sorry about this. Due to the nature of the lunches, we don't always receive enough food or volunteers...
Our one main distributor fell through, so we will have to postpone the glorious lunch until the next one on October 23rd.

if anyone is interested in volunteering for the next lunch, please email Emma the volunteer coordinator at communityeats.volunteers@gmail.com or if you have any hook-ups to potential donations please email Meagan the distributions coordinator at communityeats.collections@gmail.com

thanks! and sorry about the reduced food this week.
