We are officially closed for the day! THANK YOU to everyone that participated, whether as a guest or as a volunteer. What a wonderful testament to our community. We were blessed to serve over 175 meals today, including serving friends at Mercy Flight, the OGH ER, Olean Police Department, and Olean Fire Department. We would like to give some special shoutouts to members of our community:
- The Mustard Seed Group: Thank you for your planning and preparation for this event. We had a great day and are looking forward to more events like this in the future! 🌱
- Ms. Caroline Bremner: Thank you for using your talents to fill our Fellowship Hall with beautiful music while others talked and ate. You truly have a gift! 🎶
- Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS): Thank you for bringing the adorable pups for the day and hanging out! Our common calling is to care for Creation, and that includes the creatures that are in need. You are a valued part of our community and we appreciate you and your foster families.
