Take Out Lobster Roll Dinner for Our Lady of Hope Parish, Portland, ME

01/07/2021

Council: 101 - PORTLAND

Project Description:

Our council assisted council 11257 with a Lobster Roll take out dinner at Our Lady of Hope (OLH) Parish on September 26, 2020. The two councils are both associated with OLH parish and helped raise much needed funds by holding this and other take out dinners in 2020. Dinners were prepared and packed at the church hall of St. Pius X with most of the costs of food and take out containers covered by council 11257. There were 160 dinners handed out to people in their cars as they drove up to the church hall. Masks were worn by all volunteers while social distancing was also observed in accordance with CDC guidelines. This fundraiser netted $2000 for the parish which has seen a fall in donations and the cancellation of normal fund raising church activities due to the pandemic. This event went well as did three other take out dinners such that other take out dinners are planned for 2021.
