Thanks to the Women's Fund & Harvest Ranch Market for donating 200 sandwiches!

"Thank YOU Ellie and all the women who broke the record of how fast a group can make 200 extraordinary lunches! This morning in the soup kitchen, a woman who usually doesn’t take a sack lunch because she can’t eat peanut butter, was pleasantly surprised when she was told the sandwiches were turkey and cheese! This afternoon I got the pleasure of passing some of the last lunches out to people truly in need of lunch.

*****
Today at Interfaith, 200 people are singing the praises of the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund members for the over-the-top 200 DELICIOUS sack lunches, including the treat of turkey and cheese sandwiches, the women built in a mere 45 minutes!"
