Lunch Buddies
Changing the life of a child , one lunch at a time. Program is at Gamewell, West Lenoir, and Whitnel elementary schools. Be A Lunch Buddy!
By investing one hour a week of your time, a child can reap a lifetime of rewards. The positive attitude you impart will inspire your buddy to succeed academically and socially. Positive thinking and success, a mutually reinforcing duo, can carry a child to great heights in life.
What lunch buddies do:
Commit to eat lunch with a child one hour per week during the school year.
Give positive recognition and individual attention.
Befriend a child in need.
You might find yourself playing board games, sharing talents and hobbies, telling jokes, talking about family and work, and enjoying lunch.
