Social Capital Inc.
Americorps Volunteers and one Episcopal
Church Life Together Fellow worked together with other volunteers on
March 4, 2015 to stock the Annelle
Delorme-Hagerman Food Pantry on the grounds of the Church
of Our Savior in Somerset. The project was designed to prepare for the
distribution of food supplies to many of the homeless
families living in motels in Somerset and Swansea during the following
week. The Pantry was established a number of years ago by the Church to
provide needed food for economically-challenged families and individuals,
many of whom live in more affluent communities. The Pantry is maintained
by volunteers from the Church and receives supplies through the Greater
Boston Food Bank. "The family members will get to choose the variety
of foods that they might like based on the size of their family,"
reported former SCI Volunteer and Partners Community
Outreach Manager Brian Moses. "We're excited to serve, and we
have quite a lot of food to do it," he added. Funding for family
transportation was provided by the Vela Foundation.
