| The Garden Cafe to open for needy A group of
area churches sponsoring The Garden Cafe, a weekly hot evening meal for
individuals and families out of work and food, will serve its first
meal Thursday, June 11 from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. at the Catholic Social
Services building behind St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. The
target group to receive these services has been chosen and those who
wish to apply for a hot meal should contact the following churches to
fill out an application, according to Sandra Young, volunteer for the
benefit. Individuals or families who need a hot
meal are asked to contact the following churches in Holly Springs to be
referred to the program. After the need for food is established using
income guidelines, no additional application will be necessary. Participating
churches to date that will handle your application include the
following – St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Anderson Chapel CME Church,
Christ Episcopal Church, Heritage Apostolic Church, Asbury United
Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, and Sacred Heart Southern
Missions. Those in need do not have to be
affiliated with any of these or any other church in order to ask for a
meal. Ask anyone in Holly Springs to help you contact one of the
churches above to make your application for food. The Garden Cafe will be opened on a weekly basis by trial to determine if there is a need for the service. Volunteers,
donations and utensils are needed for this humanitarian effort. Some
food items are available for this effort from Second Harvest in
Memphis. The first meal will be served by the Christ Episcopal Church men’s group. Address any further inquiries to Sr. Joel Curcio at 662-252-1336.
