SPOTLIGHT
SUMMER
LUNCH PROGRAM
HELPERS NEEDED!
The
Columbus Public Schools
is hosting a Summer
Lunch Program at the
Middle School.
This is a community wide
lunch program where any
child, ages 1-18, can
receive a nutritious
lunch free of charge
during the summer months
beginning
June 2. Helpers
are needed to supervise
the lunch room, "count"
children who eat lunch,
and clean up afterwards.
This would be
approximately a 1-2 hour
commitment. The
program will be Monday
through Friday,
volunteers can choose
what days would work for
them. Teenagers
are welcome to come and
help out.
If
you would like to help
out with this community
pilot program, give us a
call or email
volcntr@megavision.com.
