Pizza for the Pantry, the annual fundraiser for the Sonny and Janet Meyer Family Food Pantry Fund, has proven to be as popular as ever. The fourth annual all-you-can-eat lunch event was held on Sunday, August 21 at Wick’s Pizza Goose Creek and drew over 260 people of all ages for fun, food and fellowship.
“We had one of the largest crowds ever to help fight hunger in our community,” said Janet Meyer.
Members of the Jewish Family & Career Services Food Pantry Committee sold tickets, helped people find tables, poured drinks and cleaned up. Adath Jeshurun was a sponsoring contributor.
“JFCS is very appreciative of the community support for the event,” added Judy Freundlich Tiell, JFCS executive director. “The food pantry is utilized by more than 130 people each month, and funds raised and food collected make a big impact.”
Volunteers who helped with this event were Susan Allen, Nancy Blodgett, Frankie Bloom, Marge Brown, Dara Cohen, Michael Cohen, Melanie Fadel, Michael Friedman, Jan Glaubinger, Carole Goldberg, Linda Goodman, Harold Gordon, Marcia Gordon, Lori Holland, Bob Hundley, Diane Joels, Kathy Karr, Janet Meyer, Sonny Meyer, Jerri Mobley, Patsy O’Brien, Tami Penner, Marcy Rosengarten, Carole Snyder, Sandy Weiss, Sara Yamin and Dorrie Zimmerman.
