A dozen volunteers and more than 40 local children gathered in the basement of St. Patrick’s Parish in Thompsonville on July 15th to share food and activities as part of a free summer lunch program.

The Lunch Bunch offers free lunches for children up to age 18 at Saint Patrick’s Church Hall, 64 Pearl Street, from noon to 1:00 p.m. each weekday through August 27th. There is no need to register to participate.
