"The Shamrock Box Lunch Campaign is our biggest event for volunteer and staff participation as well as its ability to reach the broadest number of supporters. Last year, we packed and delivered over 6,000 lunches with the help of 175 dedicated community members and staff. Because of our new sponsor this year, D.A. Davidson & Co., we are expecting to raise more than last year's $50,000 in net proceeds," said Jon Flora, Childhaven CEO.

To order lunches

Lunches are $14 each and include a choice of sandwich or salad, Tim's Cascade Chips, bottled water, an apple and a shamrock cookie. A minimum of 10 orders is required per delivery. Childhaven staff members and volunteers will deliver lunches between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on March 17.

Orders can be made online via our website www.childhaven.org.

Orders must be made by March 14.
