Gifts in kind
June 29, 2009
Members of Caldwell Memorial Presbyterian Church helped found Friendship Trays in 1976. Volunteers began their delivery routes from Caldwell's basement in the Elizabeth neighborhood near downtown. This year, the congregation planted a garden on its church grounds. And today, some of the fruits of their labor were brought into the Friendship Trays kitchen. The peppers, tomatoes and herbs will be used in upcoming Friendship Trays cooking. The card from the church, above, reads, "May God bless this harvest and make it nourishing to those in need."
More Energy

Another group of Duke Energy employees assisted in preparation of meals Friday. Next week is a short week – Friendship Trays will not deliver meals on Friday, July 3 – but if you can help fill in for vacationing volunteer drivers, please call us Monday through Wednesday at 704-333-9229.
Children's greetings

Children from Charlotte Country Day School made cards with a topical theme for Friendship Trays recipients. Volunteer drivers were taking them out on their routes today.
Community service
June 24, 2009
Two groups shared kitchen duty today. As a group from Carmel Presbyterian Church bagged bread, left, an employee group from Duke Energy filled and sealed meal trays. Friendship Trays needs volunteers to substitute for other volunteers taking vacations. Could your group drive routes on a weekday lunch hour, or help out in the kitchen. If you drive, you don't have to wear a hair net! Call us at 704-333-9229 for a time for your group to help deliver nutritious meals to those in our community no longer able to prepare their own meals.
