It's CASA Box Lunch time in El Dorado County

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - It is time for the 28th annual CASA El Dorado Box Lunch. Box Lunch is one of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) El Dorado's biggest outreach and fundraising events each year. They work with community partners and volunteers to make and deliver over 3,000 pre-ordered lunches to schools, businesses, and individuals throughout El Dorado County from South Lake Tahoe to El Dorado Hills. All funds raised through this event directly support recruitment, training, and ongoing supervision of CASA.

In El Dorado County, approximately 1 out of every 145 children are in foster care. CASA El Dorado serves and supports these young victims of child abuse or neglect and addresses the root causes of this abuse.

Orders are now being accepted and will be taken until March 29. Delivery of the box lunches will take place on Thursday, April 18.

The lunch cost is a donation of $14. People may also purchase a CASA Kids Box Lunch for a community first responder (CASA will select the sandwich type and deliver order to First Responder locations and no pick-up is allowed for this option).

Each lunch includes a choice of sandwich or veggie wrap, chips, cookie, and delicious local Barsotti apple juice. The sandwich choices are turkey, ham and bacon, veggie, peanut butter and jelly.

For orders of five or more lunches CASA El Dorado Volunteers will deliver to your location by 11 a.m.
