Mt. Calvary Community Supper Prepares 100 Holiday Meals

100 HOLIDAY MEALS DISTRIBUTED THANKS TO MT CALVARY COMMUNITY SUPPER OF ACTON AND ACTON BOXBOROUGH UNITED WAY!!!!

Another example of what a caring community we have in the town of Acton: local businesses and organizations coming together to make a special difference for 100 individuals during the holiday season!

On Tuesday, December 23rd, Mt Calvary Community Supper partnered with ABUW, The Red Raven and Bisousweet Bakery to prepare 100 holiday meals of a delicious roast turkey dinner with all the “fixins” and a special dessert. Meals were hand delivered to Acton and Boxborough residents by Acton Housing Authority, the Acton Social Worker and members from Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church.

This is the seventh year in a row for the event. Jen Apazidis, owner of The Red Raven, took on the task of cooking all the turkeys at the restaurant. Karen Collins, owner of Bisousweet Bakery provided delectable gingerbread muffin desserts. All the slicing, dicing, mashing, and remaining cooking took place in the kitchen of the Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church with the dedicated MCCSupper volunteers working from early morning till mid -afternoon when the final selections were ready for the packing process. Thanks to the additional help from members of ABUW, “many hands made light work” and 100 meals were ready for pick-up and hand delivery.

This event has been a very rewarding experience for all involved. Its success has been made possible through the generosity and kindness of individuals and businesses working together for the common good. It speaks to the commitment of the Mt. Calvary Community Supper to provide nutritious meals with care and compassion. Between December 18th,during the weekly Supper, and December 23rd for this event, the volunteers of MCCS prepared over 200 meals for our neighbors and guests. How amazing that they gave of their time during this incredibly busy season of celebrations.
