a Lunch Buddy
BBBS is currently taking applications for our Lunch Buddies
Program. Lunch Buddies allows community members to meet twice
a month with a child at school. The "buddies" get
together during the child's lunch period for the entire school
year. This is a great way for community members and students
to make new friends & share a great experience. The Lunch
Buddies program will kick off next month & volunteers
are needed. Please call 475-7801 or visit our website for
more info.
