</div>
<div>We have known each other since we were in pre-school, and we have always had a passion to help the underprivileged. We live comfortable, safe lives with food on our plates and a roof over our heads. But many are not so lucky. So, we started the LBI, <strong>Lunch Bag Initiative</strong>, a high school club dedicated to helping out our community with meals for those who don't have food.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What do we do?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We make sandwiches for the homeless in downtown San Jose. We contribute to several charities every week, helping shelters, and temporary homes, that house the homeless, recovering drug addicts, low-income families, transitional shelter families, and mentally disabled people. Every week at our school, we make 100 meals to be delivered to shelters and churches in downtown San Jose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where does the money go?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a fundraiser for supplies and food for a small grassroots organization called BLBI, or the Bellarmine Lunch Bag Initiative that we run. The money will be going to fund meals. Supplies to make the meals include bread, jelly, peanut butter, granola bars, fruits, bags, and sanitary supplies. As well as this, we can sponsor holiday meals with local organizations and provide clothing and toiletries. With your contribution, we can make our community better, and fill hungry stomachs in the Bay Area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even a small donation of $5.00 makes 1 meal! So donate today!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your support, it means so much to us!
