Father Dean of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church asked for our help with a very important service project that took place November 26th.
On this night, the Food Pantry and Hot Meal programs were combined.
Our Rotarians showed up in force to volunteer between 4pm-7pm -- THANK YOU.
The food pantry included a variety of produce, canned goods, boxed goods, paper products and much more! There was also a clothing area.
Guests were offered a hot meal and in addition they could get a take-home hot meal that included turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and side dishes to serve a family of four.
Our volunteers helped in all areas: the food pantry line, serving hot meals, bussing/cleaning tables, monitoring the dessert tables and clothing areas and assisting those who needed help to take packages to their cars.
The need in our community was evident - people were there 2 hours prior to the doors opening and the line was continuous through the 5pm-7pm time frame.
It is estimated that they will feed between 1200-1600 people through their program in December.
Following the project, a little pizza and libations were enjoyed by those who could attend.
