OTC Students and Staff Serve at Local Soup Kitchen
Posted on Nov 26, 2024 at 9:33 AM
On Saturday, November 16, the Student Leadership Council (SLC) at Ogeechee Technical College sponsored the Statesboro Soup Kitchen at the First United Methodist Church in Statesboro.
Volunteers from the SLC, the National Technical Honors Society (NTHS), Nursing, and OTC’s Cybersecurity Club “Arpe Diem,” served 135 hot meals of shepherd’s pie and ice cream. The team additionally helped meals of peanut butter/jelly sandwiches for to-go meals.
"The holiday season is a time when those who have are reminded to make sacrifices for those who have not,” said Sean Payne, Executive Director for PR and Marketing. “I’m proud to be part of a college whose students, faculty, and staff, are so willing to give of their time, money, and resources to help those in our community in need.”
This was the fourth of four Saturdays throughout the year that the SLC will sponsor the Soup Kitchen. The Soup Kitchen is open from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. every Saturday for service.
Ogeechee on the Go is the name of Ogeechee Technical College’s community service initiative. OTC students and employees routinely participate in projects designed to support worthwhile causes within the community.
