Lunch Bunch

Join us for Lunch Bunch!  Health Center staff oversee Loyola University dietetic interns and nursing students as they facilitate a lunch and learn program for Proviso East students called Lunch Bunch.  A free, healthy lunch is provided along with a healthy dose of health education.

This program is offered three days a week in Room 129, which is right across from the library on the 2nd floor. 

Lunch Bunch is free of charge and available to up to ten students per lunch period.  No sign-up is required! Students just show up to enjoy a freshly prepared meal while engaging in lively discussions about health and nutrition.
