Winchester GJt Lunch!
200-350 Winchester, Massachusetts children are eligible for reduced price or free lunches as part of the school district and state administered federal program. The program provides these lunches to school-age children while school is in session.
There is no program to feed the children when the children are not in school.
Objective of Winchester Got Lunch!: Working directly with the School Superintendent’s office, initiate a program to feed the Winchester children during the 11-12 weeks of the summer.
It will cost about $15/week to feed each child that registers with Winchester Got Lunch through the school district, St. Mary’s, the various preschools in Winchester, and the North Suburban YMCA. That’s about $165 per child for the summer.
The program delivers the “makings” for lunches for 5 days to the families’ homes on each Monday.
The program needs donations and lots of volunteers to be effective. About $22,000 of donations to cover the cost of food, $16,500, and the infrastructure, $5,500 to establish manage the program.
Volunteers needed include:
· Shoppers
· DB Manager
· Media/Marketing
· Fund Raising
· Pickers and Packers
· Delivery People
An individual volunteer should plan to spend about 2 hours per week either on Saturday or Monday morning. Several other volunteers needed for projects like poster making, Winchester Town Day booth, fund-raising events, etc.
