Lunch + Books + Mentors = Success
Summer Lunch Buddies is a program that pairs students entering grades K-5 with teen and adult volunteers. Students eat lunch with a buddy, participate in a group activity and then read for 20 minutes with a mentor. This program was started in 2002 and has successfully continued because of the support of the community and the grant funding from the Paul G. Duke Foundation and The Troy Foundation.
In addition to financial support, many local businesses send volunteers to participate in this program year after year. Collins Aerospace, SEW Eurodrive, ITW, and Troy City Schools are just a few of the faithful sponsors that continuously provide volunteer support for Summer Lunch Buddies. We are grateful for the many people that make up the "village"!
