Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser

Friday, August 16th at 5:30PM

Friday, August 16th at 5:30PM – Bring your appetite and your family and friends! It’s time to raise money for Weekend Blessings in Metropolis. This event is donation-based, so any amount you wish to contribute helps!
You’ll enjoy Spaghetti, Salad, Bread, Dessert and a Drink at the donation amount of your choice.
Too many children in Massac County spend weekends hungry. That’s why the Weekend Blessings program was started at First United Methodist Church. Each Wednesday, volunteers gather at church to stuff back packs with good, wholesome, food for children to take home on Friday so they have food to eat on the weekend when they are not provided breakfasts and lunches by their school.
