To-Go Kits: Wrap Disposable Silverware Sets
Five nights a week, Hope Clinic volunteers use Hope’s kitchen to make about 75 servings of carryout food for those in need. Each meal comes with a disposable silverware set including a fork, knife, spoon and napkin. You can help us out by putting together these sets by yourself, with your family, at your church or in a group!
Note: Hope is trying to move to compostable carryout containers and cutlery. Compostable silverware items from Webstaurant (bulk) and Amazon are linked below (note: unfortunately none of the napkin bands are compostable). You can also purchase these items in bulk at BgreenToday in Ann Arbor. Sometimes Target and Kroger have smaller packs of compostable cutlery.
