Hot lunch
This committee chair determines the hot lunch providers, the days of the week the service will be offered, and runs a group of parent volunteers who share hot lunch days. Parent volunteers are required for hot lunch set up and distribution each week. This is our biggest fundraiser and requires a robust group of volunteers who enjoy the added perk of visiting their kids during lunch hour.
