The St. Andrew community will once again coordinate the Summer Lunch Bunch program at Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood Center from June 10 through August 16, except for the week with July 4. The free lunch program for children and youth under 18, no matter where they live. We serve at the neighborhood center, 2651 Roberts Road, Iowa City (just off Mormon Trek, not far from Fareway), Monday through Friday, from noon to 1.Last year, we served 2,553 meals over 44 days. We averaged 58 kids a day, although we welcomed 79 kids on one busy summer day. It's a cold lunch, served under the picnic shelter. Kids get to choose what they want from our five food groups. There are no rules about what they must take, and they can come back for seconds and thirds (or more) if they're still hungry.
For this program to work, we need three types of volunteers:
* HELPERS: These are individuals who commit to one day at a time, arriving at Pheasant Ridge about 11:30 a.m. and leaving about 1:15 p.m., or whenever clean-up is done.
* DRIVERS: These are individuals who agree to drive on a Monday morning (by 9 a.m.) to the HACAP warehouse in Hiawatha (about 35 minutes from the church) and select food (mostly fruit and vegetables) that is appropriate for lunches that week.
* LEADERS: These are two-member teams who commit to Monday-Friday for one week.
