This community partnership has been serving excellent meals to people in our community throughout the pandemic. Many organizations, restaurants, businesses, church congregations, and individual volunteers share in this work.
December 10 is our turn! Bonnie Norris and Lois Amos will be preparing the meals on our behalf.
How can you help? We’re all set for this month. Looking to 2022, we’ll be needing food preparers, cookie bakers, and financial donations. Interested? Please contact Barb Smith-Young.
