Lunch Bunch connects Fun in the Sun participants with professionals from Santa Maria. Lunch Bunch provides caring adults with an opportunity to get involved on their lunch hour.

Volunteers have a chance to chat, play, and even plan activities for the kids. Many teams use this as an opportunity to teach the children an aspect of their organization they feel is important for children to know. Other organizations also come up with other ways to contribute such as holding a book drive, organizing a soccer game with the kids, or sponsoring a barbeque for lunch. Lunch Bunch is an intentional time for volunteers to be a positive role model for the Fun in the Sun children. Teams are encouraged to come up with fun ways to educate the Fun in the Sun children about what they do for their job. This opportunity broadens the children's horizons and encourages them to dream big about their future.
