Susan Herman, Executive Director 

Greetings!

As Summer turns to Fall, once again we approach the new season with renewed conviction and a fresh outlook!  We've been busy cookin' up ways for you to serve and be served! Won't you come to the table and join us? 

We offer a simple recipe for fulfillment:

hand extending plate of food 

Take one full plate...
Add all the time you thought you didn't have...
Stir up a feeling of significance...
Combine with commitment when firm...

...Change a life.

Let's roll up our sleeves and make a difference in the life of a child in need ~ what could be more fulfilling?

We hope to see you soon!
Susan
