Posted on Apr 02, 2026 at 13:36 PM
On Saturday, March 28, the Student Leadership Council (SLC) at Ogeechee Technical College sponsored the Statesboro Soup Kitchen at the First United Methodist Church in Statesboro.
Volunteers from SLC, Nursing, National Technical Honors Society (NTHS), and Cybersecurity served 175 hot meals of soft tacos, corn, and cookies. Additionally, the group served 200 to go sandwich bags.
In addition to serving the meals, the division of Student Affairs donated a box of hygiene products, socks, and t-shirts they had been collecting throughout the first few weeks of the semester.
“Oftentimes where food insecurities exist, so do a lack of other basic needs and supplies,” said Sean Payne, Executive Director for PR & Marketing at OTC. “We hope that what we were able to provide at the soup kitchen can help someone, if even only for a little while.”
This was the second Saturday of the year that the SLC has sponsored the Soup Kitchen, with more to come. 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.
