VOLUNTEERING FOR HOT LUNCH
Hot Lunches are fully run by amazing volunteers! Please consider volunteering your time or asking another family member to help volunteer for 1-2 hours around lunch to help us organize these amazing lunches for the kids. You will never be alone on these days, and if you’ve never done it before, one of our Hot Lunch Committee members will be there to show you everything. You are also more than welcome to bring your younger kids with you for the hot lunch; we always love having little volunteers with us. Volunteers are given a free lunch for their time, which they can keep for themselves or give to one of their kids in the school.
