Welcome to the Lunch Buddy Program!


"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different because I was important to a child."

Thank you for your interest in the Lunch Buddy Program! Through this program, we pair a caring, responsible adult with a child who may need a role model or some extra attention. You'll have lunch with your student buddy once per week, and you'll develop a friendship that could last for years. We believe your Lunch Buddy experience will be enjoyable and beneficial for both you and your student buddy.

Thank you for your time and interest. We hope your Lunch Buddy experience is the beginning of a long and meaningful friendship. Best wishes for a successful year as a Lunch Buddy!
