PB&J Mission – Feeding Republic's Kids, One Sack Lunch at a Time

Each summer, the Community Kitchen of Republic steps in to bridge the gap for children and teens who rely on school meals during the year. Our PB&J Mission delivers free, ready-to-eat sack lunches directly into local neighborhoods three days a week — no sign-up, no questions asked.

Every sack lunch includes a sandwich, snacks, and a drink, packed by volunteers with care and consistency. We also prepare family-sized meal bags to help households facing deeper food insecurity.

This program is 100% community-powered. From sandwich makers to delivery drivers to generous donors — every dollar and every volunteer hour directly fuels our mission to ensure no child in Republic goes hungry when school is out.

Help us continue showing up for our kids. Give today.
