Meal Drop-off 4/18

Nine families signed up for making sandwiches to provide a drop-off meal to DESC in Seattle, and we ended up making ~200 sandwiches!!

In many households, the sandwiches were lovingly put together by kids, who also left some lovely notes with the sandwiches. These notes really warmed the hearts of those who consumed them 🙂

The menu included:
- Sandwiches (ranging from veg to non-veg variety - we had egg, chicken, turkey, roast beef, gyro, pb&j and more!)
- flavored yogurt
- juice
