This year, Stacy Ito will be in charge of our summer lunch program and will be offering a limited number of lunches each day. The cost is $15 per lunch, and she will be offering seasonal vegetarian fare with animal and dairy protein on the side (and will always try to offer a gluten free option as well).

HOW TO PURCHASE LUNCHES IN ADVANCE

To secure your lunch order, please purchase lunch tickets in advance. To do so, you may submit a PayPal payment to Stacy using her email address: stacyito49@gmail.com.

In the PayPal notes section, please indicate which dates you are purchasing lunch for, and please be sure to include payment for $15 per lunch. For example, 5 days of lunches would be $75 (5 lunches x $15); 3 days of lunches would be $45 (3 lunches x $15), 1 day of lunch would be $15, etc.
