A
little money goes a long way at Table
September
20, 2004
Question:
Where can you feed a family of 400 for less than 50 cents each? Answer:
The Neighborhood Table at St. John's
Episcopal Church in Wisconsin Rapids.
Organizers
of the twice-monthly meals say anyone can sponsor one of the events for
$100 to $150, and they're looking for more groups to help. The
Neighborhood Table started on Dec. 31 serving free hot meals to the 50
people who showed up. Since then, attendance has exploded. Volunteers now
expect up to 400 for this Thursday's meal, served from
5 p.m.
to
6:30 p.m.
Director
Ginny Steen doesn't want the crowd size to scare away potential sponsors.
She has about 15 dedicated volunteers who make sure everything goes
smoothly and they know how to stretch a buck.
Please
contact Ginny Steen if you can help sponsor one of the meals. You'll
never find a better deal.
