All Aboard The Lunch Box Express
The Bethel Special Needs Transportation Department’s Lunch Box Express hauled in 3,000 pounds of donated food for Bethel families.
A Bethel school bus decorated as a train – the Lunch Box Express – accepted one and a half tons of donated food at the Albertsons store on Royal avenue.
Customers at Albertsons also chipped in nearly $400 in cash donations for the food drive.
The Bethel Special Needs Transportation Department came up with the idea as a way to help ensure Bethel families in need don’t go hungry over the holidays.
Some children depend on school breakfasts and lunches for two solid meals a day, meals which are not served when schools are closed for the holidays.
The Transportation Department is working with Bethel school counselors to connect the right families with the donated food.

I would like to thank the Bethel Community for all of their donations to our “Lunch Box Express”. Because of the caring people in our area, we should be able to feed all of our needy students during the Winter Holiday Break. Thanks again to everyone who wanted to make sure Bethel Kids don’t go hungry this Winter Break.
