WSUCC Sets Food Drive, Giveaways BY DAYNA M. REIDENOUER

eeding the hungry is one way that Willow Street United Church of Christ (WSUCC) members endeavor to live out the love of Jesus Christ. For several years, the congregation hosted monthly community meals free of charge until interrupted by the coronavirus shutdown. The meals restarted several months ago in the form of Hands of Hope food box giveaways. The giveaways are held on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 4 to 6 p.m. or until the supply runs out. Each box weighs approximately 40 pounds and includes an assortment of fresh and nonperishable foods. Nine households requested and received boxes at the first giveaway, and that number had grown to 40 at the September giveaway. “There are so many things we can’t do now, but this is something we’ve found a way to make work,� said WSUCC member Linda Overley. “We’re hoping we will meet

the needs of people who are food insecure.� In addition to the Hands of Hope giveaways, WSUCC has held food drives for local food banks. An unadvertised drive a few weeks ago resulted in a pickup truck half full of nonperishable food, Overley shared. Another food drive is planned for Friday, Nov. 6, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine. “We’re trying to fill a truckload,� Overley said. “Our joy would be to fill two trucks.� Although the collection is being advertised as a Thanksgiving food drive, the list of desired items does not include traditional Thanksgiving meal ingredients. “This will be supporting (recipients) for more than just one day,� Overley pointed out. She noted that the food drive will help to stock the shelves of the Solanco Neighborhood Ministries (SNMinistries) food bank, which provides enough food for multiple meals to households in crisis situations or once every three months as needed.

No tricks, but there will be treats at the next chicken barbecue fundraiser hosted by New Danville Fire Company, 43 Marticville Road, Lancaster. It just so happened that Charlie’s Chicken had an opening in its schedule on Halloween, Saturday, Oct. 31, so after booking the small business to prepare the half-chickens, the fire company decided to play up the day.
