It is my pleasure to share with you how much Service Adventure has benefited our program and impacted an entire community.
The Children’s Lunchbox, a program of Bean’s Café, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to feeding hungry kids in safe community environments. We have been doing so in Anchorage, Alaska, for 16 years.
Unfortunately, our program has had to grow every year because there are more and more children at risk of going hungry who need our help every day. This year, our school year program provides meals to 19 sites during the week.
We also provide bags of food on the weekends during the school year with our “Just a Little Extra” weekend food program. Currently, we are in six schools and provide 2,200 bags of food every Friday for students to take home so they will have food to eat over the weekend.
We have been blessed to have Service Adventure volunteers for five years now, and always look forward to the time of having them come and work alongside us. They make a difference in helping us fulfill our mission to feed hungry children in safe community environments.
This year, we have Leah Swartley on our team and, like the other great volunteers, she is a wonderful asset to us. She shows up with a great attitude ready to work.
Carl Snyder, a previous Service Adventure volunteer, is now on staff full-time. The dedication and work ethic of your volunteers is amazing.
We find that Service Adventure volunteers are some of the very best that we have the privilege of working with. We are so appreciative of your program, and hope that your volunteers also grow as they work with us knowing they help to make a difference wherever they are.
