Events & Volunteer Opportunities
Lunch Buddy Partners with Action Ministries for Summer - Volunteers Needed to Serve Lunches June 4-August 3
Since the 2008 Christmas holidays, Lunch Buddy volunteers have been picking up lunches from area restaurants and delivering them to 20-25 children living at Northlake Inn, a nearby extended-stay hotel, during the 70+ weekdays of school holidays. In addition to providing lunches and weekend snack bags, volunteers have hosted many special events for the children at Northlake Inn over the years including Christmas, Valentine’s, and Easter parties. The Cherub Choir, Christmas Carolers, Church Street Station, and The Forgiven Band have performed for guests in the lobby. “Wonderful Wednesdays” play time in the hotel courtyard enabled the kids to get outside in the summer with volunteers for games, crafts, and popsicles.
Sadly, the Northlake Inn will close permanently on May 31. But the need to provide food for children during summer vacation – when no school lunches are available – is still great. In an effort to continue to reach out to serve children in our local community, the Lunch Buddy ministry is partnering with Action Ministries Smart Lunch/Smart Kid program for the summer. Two adult volunteers are needed each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from June 4-August 3 to serve lunches to 25 children living at Tucker Mobile Homes, off Lawrenceville Hwy near Jimmy Carter Blvd. Another group is delivering the food; volunteers from Tucker First are needed to serve the lunches near the office in the complex from 12:00-12:30.
