The 2006 Poor Man’s Supper, a benefit for the Christian Service program, will be held on Sun, Nov 12, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in The Hunter Building at First Methodist Church, says Judy Williams.
Attendees receive a fabulous meal. It consists of a bowl of soup, bread and water. They are asked not to eat anything else for the rest of the evening to absorb what it is like to go to bed hungry.
Tickets will be $3.00 at the door. Entertainment will include music by The Blue Birds, a gospel quartet and Dan Garner and Randy Cassell.
The Poor Man’s Supper was created in 1970 by Sister Margaret McCaffery, who founded Christian Service. The event was originated to raise awareness of the needs of the hungry and homeless and the role Christian Service plays in meeting those needs.
The Sister Margaret McCaffery Award for 2006 will be given to Maxine Sarpy and her family. The award is given each year to someone who has made significant contributions in helping the hungry and homeless.
Key Club members from area high schools will be serving the meal.
