Crockpots have been working overtime for members of the Young Women's League of Reading! Last Saturday, March 29, members prepared soups and side dishes for an evening meal for those in need at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Reading. This Saturday, April 5, members and their children brought and served a ham dinner with soups, desserts and bread to those in need at The Dwelling Place.
