To the editor:
On behalf of Mother’s Cupboard Community Kitchen Board of Directors and Chef Sherry, we would like to extend our thanks to the following businesses, individuals, potters and restaurants for their silent auction donations, bowls, soups and volunteers in the weeks leading up to the event, as well as the day of the Soup Bowl 2018 event, to ensure its success and that a good time would be had by all.
Because of the support of our generous community and volunteers, we can continue to fight hunger in our county and the surrounding counties, by providing one hot meal as well as pantry items, 364 days a year, with no questions asked.
Thanks to:
The IGA and CVS for pre-ticket sales.
