Food Shuttle and Hindu Society Join Together to Feed Those in Need
Every other Saturday for the past couple of months, Gethsemane Seventh Day Adventist Church holds “Free Meal Give-a-Ways”. The church sends out emails, posts signs, and shares the news by word of mouth that community members can pick up free food for their families at the drive-thru event. The food comes to the church from Inter-Faith Food Shuttle and the Hindu Society of North Carolina, a collaboration organized by Vielka Gabriel from Wake County Human Services
