What a great summer it's been so far, and the best is yet to come! As of last Friday, we have now finished six full weeks of Healthy Kids, which is a little over half way for this year, and I thought you all would like to see whats been accomplished so far.
First of all, last week was our single best week of Healthy Kids ever. You served a total of 3,533 lunches last week alone! That is amazing! If that weren't enough, listen to this - after six weeks, a total of 18,864 lunches have been served to the children of the greater Granbury area. Thats an average of 3,144 lunches every week. For this we simply say, "thank you God!"
Of course we still have three weeks of Healthy Kids left (five weeks if your church is picking up the last two weeks before school starts on their own) and we are almost certain to break the 25,000 mark and have a realistic shot at reaching 30,000 lunches!
As we move into the home stretch of Healthy Kids this summer, Norma and I really want to encourage you to plan a big finish for your lunch sites. Undoubtedly, you and your volunteers have developed some real and lasting relationships with the kids and families you've been serving all summer. How cool would it be to wrap up Healthy Kids and send your kids back to school with a big Healthy Kids end of summer party!? I've heard of several churches that are planning neighborhood cook outs, block parties and other activities for their lunch sites. So get creative and have some fun with it!
