Special to IFN

The Statesville Woman’s Club is planning to participate in the second General Federation of Women’s Clubs’ National Day of Service.

The National Day of Service is a day in which all of GFWC works together in service to highlight an area of need, take action to address it, and raise public awareness about its importance.

The Statesville Woman’s Club is once hosting its second “Take-Out Hunger Day” and partnering with Yokefellow Ministry at 1380 Shelton Avenue in Statesville on Saturday, September 28, to provide hot lunch boxes.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, chips and desserts will be provided from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The goal of the club is “loving our community in honor of GFWC National Day of Service” with community participation welcome. There will also be music and dancing. Last year, the club helped feed close to 300 individuals. This year’s goal is 500.

Food Drive

The club will also be hosting a food drive in September with a drop off-site at Yokefellow. Donations of canned vegetables, peanut butter, canned protein and canned fruit/preserve are appreciated. Drop-off times are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Thursdays from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
