Alan Robichaud - Got Lunch! Got Real!
Most surely Margaret Mead had the “GOT LUNCH!” folks in mind when she gave the world her famous quote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
When a handful of civic minded people came together at the beginning of the summer to address the high rate of children on the free and reduced lunch program in Laconia, they didn’t wait for permission from some bureaucracy or form a strategic planning committee to study the issues, research causes, and stress over writing a state or federal grant. They did what only caring and concerned citizens can do. They acted!
While nearly 70-percent of Laconia’s School District children remain on free and reduced lunch programs, Laconia citizens took action to see that children had nutritious lunches throughout the summer. Volunteers, faith groups, businesses, schools, the media and private agencies came together with a clear mission that kids would not go hungry when school let out for the summer.
This incredible effort, spearheaded by members of our local community, pulled off a response no agency could have done proving once more that the health and strength of our community rests within its people and the assets that exist within our associations and institutions. Working together these assets are magnified over and over giving us the capacity to serve and support our neighbors. Stories shared at the recent end-of-summer celebration of GOT LUNCH! were compelling and confirmed that we live in a community that cares for its own; that poverty does exist; and that working together we can change the future for our children. GOT LUNCH! exemplifies the motto of our local Better Together movement: “Taking our community from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY!”
Out of respect for the humility of the group, I will not attempt to list the many members of this community who made GOT LUNCH! such a huge success. You know who you are and importantly so do we. You are all heroes. You offer us hope and inspiration that we live in a community of caring, concerned neighbors who look beyond their own needs to advance the greater, common good. Thank you for your leadership, inspiration and courage to act proving beyond all doubt that we are truly Better Together!
