Lunch Volunteers

Give a Teacher a Duty-Free Lunch! 🍎

Our goal is to provide every teacher with one duty-free lunch each week—and we need your help to make it happen!

As a lunch volunteer, you’ll help students move through the lunch line, open lunch items, supervise students, tidy up between lunches, and occasionally tackle a spill or two. Most importantly, your time gives a TIMA teacher a chance to enjoy a well-deserved break during the school day.

Ready to help? Check out the available lunch volunteer slots and sign up using the button below!

Not yet a certified volunteer? No problem! Use the button below to visit our volunteer page and complete the required steps to get started.
