Volunteer Spotlight: The Lunch Brigade
The Lunch Brigade program is a partnership between NTPS and Joint Base Lewis McChord. Each month, a brigade visits a different school for recess, where the soldiers play games and talk with the students. During 2024-25, we have Lunch Brigades at Pleasant Glade Elementary, Seven Oaks Elementary, Lakes Elementary, and Meadows Elementary. Thank you to the 2024-25 Lunch Brigade units: 16th Combat Aviation Brigade, the 46th Aviation Support Battalion, the 2-3 Infantry, the 51st Expeditionary Signal Battalion-Enhanced, and the 269th Brigade Support Battalion.
