We kicked off the Summer Program with Mini- Golf!
It worked out perfectly to have a performance or story time right before lunch! While they waited in line for food our volunteers got the space ready for lunch!
Families would leave the Community Room walk over to our kitchen area and then go back into the Community Room to eat their lunch. We averaged 40- 50 lunches a day, twice a week for 6 weeks! That’s about 540 meals served for the summer!
