During the workday, lunches were
provided to the work crews, thanks
to a group of volunteers at Jefferson
Street Christian Church and donations
of food and other supplies from
various Lincoln businesses.
Koni Lovett, captain of the kitchen
crew, explained that for the meals that
would be carryout or delivery, there
were stations involved, including the
groups preparing the sack lunches,
volunteers taking orders over the
phone and others getting the orders
boxed up. Lovett said the group put
together sub sandwiches with meat
and cheeses provided by Lincoln IGA.
They also had donations of bottled
water, and some of their members provided homemade cookies.
At the end of the day, Dustin Fulton, pastor at the church, reported that the kitchen
crew had assembled 457 sack lunches. He said they therefore had estimated there
were approximately 500 volunteers at this year's event, because they knew some of the
crews turned down their lunch so others could eat.
Of all the food on hand, Fulton reported that at the end of the day, there were just 10
cookies, seven packets of mustard and one apple left.
