GFWC-NC Statesville Woman's Club to host second Take-Out Hunger Day

The General Federation of Women’s Clubs of North Carolina (GFWC of NC) Statesville Woman’s Club (SWC) is planning to participate in the second GFWC National Day of Service. The National Day of Service (NDS) is a day in which all of GFWC comes together in service to highlight an area of need, take action to address it, and raise public awareness about its importance.

The SWC is once again hosting a “Take-Out Hunger Day” and partnering with Yokefellow Ministry at 1380 Shelton Avenue in Statesville on Saturday, September 28, 2024 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. prepared hot lunch boxes will include hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, chips and desserts. The goal of the club is “Loving our community in honor of GFWC National Day of Service” with community participation welcome. There will also be music and dancing. Last year the NDS helped feed close to 300 individuals. This year hope to feed 500.

The club will also be hosting a food drive the month of September with drop off site at Yokefellow. We will be accepting donations of canned vegetables, peanut butter, canned protein and canned fruit/preserve. Drop off times are on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Thursday’s 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday’s from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
