Brown Bag Ministry
Join us one Saturday a month as we pack and share lunches with our neighbors in downtown Wake Forest. Whether you come on your own, bring your family, or are visiting Hope, you’re welcome to serve with us.
“Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”
-Romans 12:13
About Brown Bag Ministry
Third Saturday of each month · 11 AM–1 PM
Each month, Hope’s Brown Bag Ministry prepares and delivers 125 nutritious lunches to neighbors in three communities in downtown Wake Forest. Volunteers use donated and purchased food to pack the lunches and tuck a Bible verse into each bag.
Ways to Get Involved
Pack and Deliver Lunches
Volunteers are welcome every month. Pick a Saturday that works for you, or sign up for several throughout the year. Each participant will need their own transportation to the nearby distribution location.
Lead a Saturday
We’re looking for volunteers who can lead a Brown Bag Saturday a couple of times a year. If you’re interested in helping coordinate a Saturday or gathering supplies ahead of time, use the form below to get connected.
Donate Granola Bars
We collect granola bars year-round for our monthly lunches. Drop off your donation in the donation bin in the Café whenever you’re at Hope.
