On February 25th, we met at my house and made desserts to take the next night to the Soul Food Dinner at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Akron. We had the opportunity to welcome guests, visit with families, color and play games with the kids, read stories and help clean up. Delicious food was served, songs were sung and a few children performed a special dance.

The dinner was sponsored by Project Rise, which is “a collaborative effort by Akron Public Schools, local shelters, and the community” to provide assistance to the homeless.
