Baking for a change

Bake sale held by Presbyterian Church to benefit feeding of those in need

Funds raised from an old-fashioned bake sale this Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. in the Saratoga Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall will be used to help fight hunger and loneliness in the valley, according to an announcement made this week by a spokesman for the newly organized “Gather at the Table” committee.

Featured at the event will be all kinds of baked goods.

An organizational meeting of “Gather at the Table”, a community dinner planning group, recently took place at the Presbyterian Church. Those in attendance and duties were: Herman Strickland, Session member; Becky Strickland, fundraiser; Lori Erhart, secretary; Cindy Kessler, treasurer and Dick Perue, outreach person, along with Pastor Steve Niccolls.

Intended purpose of “Gather at the Table” is to help fulfill the mission of the Presbyterian Church by reaching out to people in the community and surrounding area by providing a free hot meal for anyone who desires fellowship with openness and love. This will start by serving a hot meal on the first Tuesday of each month using donations of food, supplies, monies and labor.

The initial soup kitchen serving is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 2, between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

A second fundraiser will be a Labor Day Auction set for Saturday, Sept. 3.
