Community members are invited to an evening of food, fellowship, and community spirit at the free Community “Stone Soup” Spaghetti Dinner, to be held Saturday, November 15 at 4 p.m. at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.
The event is the product of several area businesses and individuals looking to support area residents struggling. Little Charlie’s Pizza owner Charlie Messina says one of his employees got the ball rolling.
“One of my managers came up with the idea and he passed it on to me,” Messina said. “His name is Z. He says, ‘Charlie, over here, everybody’s hurting because of the government shutdown, and a lot of people are not getting paid. What do you think if we do some type of dinners or some type of donation?’ I said ‘You know what? That’s a great idea.”
The event is free and open to the public. Messina says event organizers are hoping to serve at least 1,000 people as a way of supporting the community during a difficult time, and as a way of saying thank you.
“We want to thank the community, and the community does not have to thank Little Charlie’s,” Messina said. “That’s what happens when we stick together, and that’s what happens when a community sticks together and good things happen.”
More events are being planned for future dates. Find more information on the Free Community ‘Stone Soup’ Spaghetti Dinner Facebook event page. Contact Little Charlie’s Pizza if you are looking to donate or volunteer in support of the event.
