December 21, 2023 – Several members of the Sulphur Springs Corvette Club stopped by the First United Methodist Church to make a donation to The Dinner Bell program. The Dinner Bell has been serving a “community meal” each Wednesday since February 2012. The program now hands out more than 200 meals each Wednesday only taking off during the holidays, which they are doing so this next week but will return on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
The $500 donation will help cover the cost of the food for one week in the future as many clubs, businesses and organizations do so each week to help make The Dinner Bell an ongoing success. Reverend Peter McNabb was on hand to accept the donation and thanked the members as well as club President Tim Gee. Gee said, “It is important to our club members to help out the community when we can, and The Dinner Bell program has been providing a wonderful community service for many years.”
The mission of the Dinner Bell is to end hunger in Hopkins County. Fresh, hot, nutritious meals are prepared by volunteers each Wednesday and served to our guests at the First United Methodist Church. Through the generous support of church and community members and corporate sponsors we have been able to serve over 20,000 meals to those in need since opening our kitchen in 2012.
If you or your organization would like to make a donation to The Dinner Bell, call 903-885-2185.
