Children's Auction donation award helps church start Sanbornton Got Lunch

SANBORNTON — Thanks to the Greater Lakes Region Children's Auction, community members and members of the Congregational Church of Sanbornton are starting a Got Lunch Sanbornton project that will serve the children who attend the Sanbornton Central Elementary School.

The Greater Lakes Region Children's Auction awarded Got Lunch Sanbornton $1,000 for starting this year's program. The goal of the project is to support the children and families of Sanbornton Central Elementary School throughout the summer delivering at least enough healthy groceries for five lunches a week. Proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, bread and more will be delivered directly to children's doorsteps each Monday morning throughout the summer. The funds from the Children's Auction will be used to purchase food and other supplies needed to get the program started.

The community partners recognize that the cost of feeding children is rising and causing hardship on family budgets. Any family,who has a child attending Sanbornton Central Elementary School and can use support this summer with receiving healthy groceries is invited to complete an application at the school. Ask the principal, school nurse or secretary for an application and return it to the main office.

If anyone wishes to volunteer or make a donation, make checks out to Got Lunch Sanbornton and mail it to Got Lunch Sanbornton, 21 Meeting House Hill Road, Sanbornton NH 03269. To volunteer email gotlunchsanbornton@gmail.com.
