The Lunch Bunch
 

Lunch Bunch connects Fun in the Sun kids with hundreds of volunteers from dozens of companies from the local community. It also provides caring adults with a fun way to get involved during their lunch hour.

Volunteers have a chance to chat, play, and even plan activities for the kids. Many teams use this as an opportunity to teach the children an aspect of their organization they feel is important for children to know. Other organizations also come up with other ways to contribute such as holding a book drive, organizing a soccer game with the kids, or sponsoring a barbeque for lunch. Lunch Bunch is an intentional time for volunteers to be a positive role model for the Fun in the Sun children. Teams are encouraged to come up with fun ways to educate the Fun in the Sun children about what they do for their job. This opportunity broadens the children’s horizons and encourages them to dream big about their future.

In the summer of 2007, 50 local employers recruited over 500 employees to participate in the Lunch Bunch volunteer program.  Sign up now for Lunch Bunch 2008!  This year, Lunch Bunch runs June 23 through August 8.
