Volunteers are needed for the One Hot Meal and Food Pantry at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church.
Last Fall, we helped the folks at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church with their One Hot Meal Program the week of Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful Rotarian turnout to help serve.
The Rotarians involved loved the project.
The Church does this once a month, on a smaller scale.
We now have scheduled opportunities to serve once a month through the end of the calendar year.
Time: 6:30PM
Location: Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 129 S. Union Street, Akron, OH 44304
Click on the respective Tuesday below to view available time slots and book yourself to volunteer directly online.
We appreciate your participation and look forward to making this a great event together!

“Cabinets of Curiosity” and Iceland, June 1-July 31, 2025
The title of the June-July AWCC show, by Akron artist Geraldine Kiefer, is "'Curious and Curiouser'": Cabinets of Curiosity and the Fascination of Iceland." It will comprise original drawings; inscribed maps and engravings; shadow box-framed, hand altered prints; and inscribed illustrations from travel and diaristic books (several of which will be on display). The originals date from the late 16th through the 19th centuries, and are in Dr. Kiefer’s collection.
A number of shadow boxes will contain actual objects, namely Icelandic spar and Icelandic lava specimens. Dr. Kiefer takes her lead from the AWCC library's design, with multiple shelves in glass-lined cabinets, to show how the exotic shape and feel of Iceland (as mapped by Icelandic clerics, then remapped by northern European geographers) may have drawn inspiration from the exotic object cabinets assembled first, by Dutch wealthy merchant families and later, by the publications of explorers and writers primarily in northern Europe.
Geraldine Kiefer holds the title Professor Emeritus of Art. A native of Akron, she taught art, art history and art appreciation at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia, for 17 years. The Iceland work displayed here derives from her second sabbatical year, 2019-20, with additions and alterations completed in 2025.
