My name is Elise Webb and I am Holy Covenant’s Administrative Assistant, a position which gave me a unique perspective of our Summer Lunch Program last year. 

I know the numbers involved:  150 volunteers served over 10,000 lunches to over 500 children in our community.

I know the motivation involved:  Our mission committee saw a need in our own area for hungry children to be fed. 

When caring hearts meet willing hands,
volunteers are created. . .
            . . . and great things are acomplished

We arrived early to our site each day to get set up and prepared to hand out boxed lunches.  Most days, there were children there – waiting for us.  Some walked from their homes near by; some were driven by parents; and some came on bikes. 

One little guy road his bike on the sidewalk – keeping his distance – until he could check us out from a far.  He finally rode up and when checking off his name from the list, it was noted there were two boys in this family - a 9 year old and 13 year old.  Assuming this little guy was the 9 year old – we asked if he was going to take a lunch to his big brother.  With a big grin he said “I am the big brother!”  That became his nickname for the rest of the week.

 There is a mix of cultures in the group of children.  Sweet, soft spoken voices with some difficult last names made checking the children off the list a little challenging.  After a few day of scanning the lists for names, one little girl came up and said promptly says “my name begins with O!”
