In this episode, Executive Director Ruth Masterson speaks with host Jamie Truman about the organization’s significant growth since the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, they served 56,000 meals to those in need and are expecting that number to keep growing. To support the increased demand, their mission is to expand their reach and social impact in the community, starting with their first in-person fundraiser on May 16th. The spaghetti dinner and auction event is open to the public and marks a new chapter of the organization's engagement with the community.
