Lunches with Love is a Non-Profit organization which serves and delivers meals to over 150 clients across the Ohio Valley.  For over ten years, they have served daily meals to shut-ins and senior citizens who are unable to leave their homes. The meals are served free-of-charge or for a small donation.  The organization is run by a group of volunteers and runs solely on donations, relying on a small donor base to cover their operating costs. 

Founded by Smithfield resident Pat Taylor, Lunches with Love started with six clients and six volunteers and now serves 70 clients, with 45 residing in Smithfield.

"We have to understand this is not our ministry - it's God's," says Taylor.

Because of our common mission of helping those in need, Brightway is a Fiscal Sponsor of Lunches with Love.  As an established non-profit, Brightway Center is able to accept donations on Lunches with Love's behalf.  100% of the donation goes to Lunches with Love, who use donations to cover all expenses including rent, utility bills, food and equipment.
