Outreach Ministries

Throughout the year, WBCL will be putting the spotlight on some people-helping organizations in our listening area. Some might be new to you and some you may have forgotten. We encourage you to become involved with the group that touches your heart. We believe it’s the “neighborly” thing to do. (Luke 10:29-37)

sack lunch program

Help us support the St. Peter’s Sack Lunch program. More than thirty people spend over seventy-five hours each week preparing 1,100 lunches. A typical lunch for a single person consists of a sandwich, chips, a treat and a spiritual message. Once prepared, volunteers transport the lunches on a specified route based on need throughout the city each and every Saturday. In fact, approximately 53,000 lunches are made and distributed each year to the hungry in Fort Wayne.
