Generous Donation to Summer Lunch Box Program
The Beta Rho Chapter of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International (DKG), a society for women educators, once again collected and donated pasta and spaghetti sauce to the Summer Lunch Box (SLB) Program in Hop Bottom at the Fire Hall. Pictured left to right are Leslie Gossage, chair of the committee which organizes the donation and Chapter President Jeanette Saulo, with the many donated jars of sauce and boxes of pasta.
The total collected was 107 pounds of pasta and 169 large jars of sauce. This is an estimated amount to serve approximately 850 servings of pasta with sauce. The chapter has provided support of this worthwhile program for many years. The program provides five bi-weekly food distributions of staple items for meal preparations to families during the months of June, July, and August. In addition to Hop Bottom, there are four other county-wide locations that also distribute staple items and some perishables, including whole milk. Because there are no paid administrators in this grass roots efforts, 100% of the donations received goes right back into the program.
