Lunch Bunch
County volunteers connected with local kids in need at two of United Way of Santa Barbara
County's Fun in the Sun sites this year. Volunteers headed out to Ellwood School in Goleta and
Harding School in Santa Barbara on July 30 to spend their lunch hour talking and playing with the
kids as part of the Lunch Bunch volunteer hour. Patti Stewart, Chief Probation Officer, coordinated
37 volunteers from various departments, who brought art and school supplies, fruit, and fun goodies
for the kids.
