FORT WAYNE — Nearly 600 low income children and adults in Fort Wayne will be able to enjoy fellowship and a hearty Thanksgiving meal thanks to a partnership between the Boys & Girls Club of Fort Wayne, Community Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Indiana, the Fort Wayne Housing Authority, Ceruti’s, Aunt Millie’s Bakery, and the Greater Mount Ararat Baptist Church in Fort Wayne.
The meal was the brainchild of Boys & Girls Club of Fort Wayne executive director, Joe Jordan. Jordan pulled together all the partners to help realize his dream.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for us to make sure many families in our community have a happy Thanksgiving,” Jordan said in a news release. “There is no greater way to achieve that than to partner with other organizations of like missions.”
The Boys & Girls Club of Fort Wayne are coordinating the meal for members of their clubs located at the Fort Wayne Housing Authority’s Brookmill Apartments and McCormick Place Apartments. Ceruti’s is graciously donating its staff and kitchen facilities to prepare most of the food donated by Community Harvest, Aunt Millie’s Bakery will donate dinner rolls and dessert, and the Greater Mount Ararat Baptist Church is providing space for the McCormick Club to dine.
