THANKSGIVING BREAK LUNCH PREP

During regular school days, these children receive meals through the Federal Meal Program. During non-school periods, like Thanksgiving Break, when these meals are not provided, nutritious meals may not be an option. Each day we will prepare lunches and deliver them to various locations in Boerne.
Lunch Prep & Delivery volunteers will prepare the sandwiches and snacks for the sack lunches. We ask that all Lunch Prep & Delivery volunteers have a vehicle and are able to deliver lunches in the Boerne area. You're welcome to sign up for this slot and bring your children along to help. Youth volunteers can always earn service hours. Please sign up today! |
