Baking one hundred pies at the New Ipswich Congregational Church to be distributed on Thanksgiving at the Saint Vincent DePaul food bank in Greenville.
Many hands make light work
Nice to see people helping people at the local level. More like the 'old days' when the town had an overseer of the poor (e.g. Walter Thayer, W. D. Ashley, etc.) and a budget for that purpose. I commend Linda Kivela and her friends for their work on behalf of their community. With regards to Appleton, I wish it could have continued.
How appropriate with the pie pictures. This once again just happened this wee, 8 years later. Karyn and I are delivering 109 pies to SVDP this morning for their Thanksgiving Baskets.
