Holiday Spotlight: Trinity Lutheran Church's Brown Bag Ministry

Lilburn's Trinity Lutheran Church participates in an ongoing brown bag ministry that feeds homeless persons.

Once a month, church members and volunteers meet to prepare 100 peanut butter sack lunches. Then, the group distributes them to the hungry in downtown Atlanta.

As a community member, you can donate food items or lunch bags, put lunches together, deliver the lunches or drive others.

If you want to help pack lunches, the outreach ministry meets 9 a.m. to noon on the second Saturday of each month.

Contact the church at 770-972-4418. Check the church out on its website, as well.
