OTC Students and Staff Serve at Local Soup Kitchen
Posted on Sep 23, 2024 at 8:32 AM
On Saturday, September 14, 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 Dental Assisting served 206 hot meals of tacos, beans, rice, and ice cream. The team additionally helped prepare peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, and cookies for to-go meals.
"The food insecurity in our community is growing and the soup kitchen is a way to help our citizens get a hot meal, clothing, and other services. It's a pleasure to serve," said Beckie Snyder, Administrative Assistant for AVPSA.
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.
