New group to dine for a cause monthly here

Aug 19, 2023

Dining for Jackson County is a new event to help improve the lives of the poor, the disadvantaged and the abused.

Starting Sept. 5, Dining for Jackson will meet the first Tuesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. at the Mission and Fellowship Center of Sylva First Baptist Church. Participants should bring a covered dish. Upon entry, organizers ask attendees to put a donation in a basket, perhaps what a nice restaurant meal would cost.

Each month funds will go to a different nonprofit. This first meeting the target is United Christian Ministries.

The other 11 are in alphabetical order: AWAKE, Center for Domestic Peace, Circles of Jackson, Equinox Ranch, Full Spectrum Farm in Cullowhee, Habitat for Humanity, Hands on Jackson, Meals on Wheels, REACH, Rolling Start and The Community Table.

The Center for Domestic Peace needs things like mouthwash, hairbrushes, combs, hair ties, deodorant, body wash, shaving cream, wet wipes, lip balm, hand sanitizer, pocket tissues, hair conditioner, lip balm and travel size hygiene supplies.
