On July 29, members of East Cobb Branch participated in the YMCA Lunch Packing Program. The program’s goal is to serve over 300 children each day over school breaks. It needs many volunteers to help deliver and serve lunches to local kids. These children may not be able to have a healthy meal when school is out. The program also inspires volunteers to communicate with the children.
On July 29, Brian and Jack went to Northeast Cobb YMCA, as well as Bella Grande and packed and served about 25 lunches for two and a half hours. Today, not a lot of children came to pick up the lunches.
Our members participated in the whole process of the program by packing well-balanced, child-friendly meals, and drinks into a lunch bag, and delivering them to those children. We tried luring the kids in to play with us, but most of the children just took the food and left. We gave out multiple to each person because if we didn’t give them all out, we would have to throw them away.
