On Saturday, September 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 SLC, Cybersecurity Club (Arpe Diem), Dental Assisting, FBLA, Nursing, and the Student Veterans Association served 121 hot meals of Shepherd’s Pie, corn, and rolls with ice cream for dessert. Additionally, the group served 220 to go sandwich bags.
“When we come together to care for one another, we build more than meals, we build connection, compassion, and hope,” said Beckie Snyder, Administrative Assistant for VPSA.
This was the third 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.
