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. 

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!”
