A certified USDA Summer Food Service Program

The Lunch Box is a retired school bus that was renovated into a mobile cafeteria. During the summer months, Of One Accord transports already prepared lunches each week day into various neighborhoods in Hawkins County, where once parked, children & teens can board the bus to eat a nutritious meal. See 2007 Lunch Box schedule. The bus is chaperoned each day by a trained bus driver, volunteers from local youth groups, and other program staff.

Area youth groups are encouraged to volunteer on the bus to help:

• Serve lunches
• Clean up between sites
• Unload the bus at the end of the route
• Become a "friend" to children and teens who eat lunch on the bus

To learn more about how you can volunteer on The Lunch Box or to request The Lunch Box to come into your neighborhood, contact Barbara Jones at the Shepherd's Center at 423-921-8036 or by email at bjones(at)ofoneaccordministry(dot)org (please use the computer symbol for the at and dot)
