The volunteers and their parents produced 80 bag lunches consisting of sandwiches, chips, and fresh fruit for anyone who will show up at the Fair Oaks Community Center in Redwood City at noon today.
We were blessed with sunshine on a cool, breezeless Saturday afternoon, and our initial effort at making sandwiches went smoothly.
In previous years we would prepare a hot lunch of salad and baked chicken or lasagna to be served cafeteria style. St. Pius Catholic Church would furnish the sandwiches to be handed out when people were leaving.
COVID-19 and the aging out of its community outreach crew have caused St. Pius to discontinue the sandwich-making, so churches like ours have picked up the slack.
No more hot lunches, unfortunately, but such is the new normal.
