It was a wet night for the ninth annual An Evening in Tuscany spaghetti dinner fundraiser Tuesday, May 26, in support of the volunteer drivers with Faith in Action for Cass County.
The change to a curbside-pickup event at Union Church in Hackensack served more than 200 people with cars lined up around the block at times.
Faith in Action volunteer chef Mike Bohanon and board members, volunteers and staff served the meal of spaghetti with garlic rounds and dessert. Diners were served a choice of plain sauce with meatballs or Mike’s Special Sauce, loaded with the works. Waiting curbside provided time to talk about volunteer drivers and the services Faith in Action volunteers provide in their communities.
“We were overwhelmed by the community support this year,” board chair Dee Oliver said in a news release. “We ran out of both food and serving containers.”
Faith in Action for Cass County connects volunteers who provide neighborly assistance to people in need throughout the rural communities of Cass County. Volunteers help with rides to shopping, appointments and errands. They also help with chores, phone visiting and meal delivery, and they build accessibility ramps. The goal of Faith in Action is to help people remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
