102 Holiday Food Boxes

Donating holiday food boxes to our community is a long-standing tradition for the Service League of Greenville.  This year we out did our selves.  On December 12th, Food Boxes were delivered to 102 in-need families to enjoy over the holiday season.

 

A huge thanks to the many Service League of Greenville members who gave generously to this cause; Mr. Sumerlin, Store manager of Piggly Wiggly, who organized the purchase and packaging of food items: and, HOPE OF GLORY MINISTRIES & SALVATION ARMY who selected recipients within our community and organized delivery of the boxes.

Special thanks to SLG supper organizers Co-Chairs Marcia Pleasants and Linda Clark.

80 Families Reached With Our Annual Holiday Food Box Project

Thanks to the generosity of the Service League of Greenville members, our annual Holiday Food Box Project was a huge success.  Working closely with Mr Randy Stroud, the General Manager of Piggly Wiggly on Dickinson Avenue, we were able to purchase and donate 80 Holiday Food Boxes.  (Possibly, our best year yet!)  Mr. Stroud even added a can of cranberry sauce to each box at no cost.

Hope of Glories Ministries and the Salvation Army each delivered 40 boxes to in-need families in their community.  Cards were placed in the boxes with holiday wishes from the Service League of Greenville.
