After witnessing a 28 lb Turkey for 10 people, I saw the waste of food that was happening and a need to change this was identified at the dinner table. We set up collections for the days after large gatherings with lots of food and leftovers such as New Years eve and Thanksgiving. Members of our community were asked to bring leftover foods which were collected and immediately brought to the Blessing Bag Brigade who got food to those who are hungry. We also asked our membership to bring casserole and other prepared foods as well. It was great to help those who were hungry and we had the ability to help solve this issue for a day.
