ACTS of Henderson Fish Fry Fundraiser February 1st

/by

When was the last chance you got to help a local food pantry by, well, eating?

Area residents will get that exact opportunity at the Feb. 1 fundraiser at 220 Restaurant to benefit Area Christians Together in Service (ACTS).

Lee Anne Peoples, executive director of ACTS, said tickets are $8 each and are available now. Advance sales are preferred, Peoples said, but not required. The fundraiser plates include trout, French fries and cole slaw. “We’d love for people to come and join us,” she said. The fundraiser is from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

ACTS, located at 201 S. William St., has been a beehive of activity, she told host John C. Rose during Monday’s Town Talk.  “We’ve seen about double the amount of people in the last few months than we saw prior to COVID.” The fundraiser will help the organization continue to provide hot lunches on weekdays as well as hep to keep the pantry stocked.

“We’ve been serving between 120 and 160 or 170 (people) Monday through Friday,” Peoples said of the hot lunch program. She and cook Thomas Blackwell are the only paid staff, she added. “We’re almost completely volunteer-driven,” Peoples said. “We would not be able to do what we do without volunteers.”

More lunches are headed out the door each day because people are taking food to family, friends and neighbors who need the assistance. “COVID  has increased the numbers of people we’ve been serviing, but it has decreased the number of volunteers,” she said.

Peoples said tickets are available at ACTS from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. – and ACTS will happily take donations to help fill the pantry, too. In short supply are items like canned fruits and vegetables, 1-pound or 2-pound bags of rice or beans, boxes of crackers packaged in plastic sleeves such as saltines. Also needed are gallon-size cans of food that can be used for lunches, she said.

Of course, monetary donations are always acceptable, Peoples said. Mail checks to ACTS, P.O. Box 25, Henderson, NC 27536.

The last 220 fundraiser to benefit ACTS sold between 800 and 1,000 tickets, People said. ACTS board members have tickets for sale. Board members, in addition to Peoples, are: Hope Breedlove, Gwenn Bridges, Ulice Hill Evans, Pam Jackson, Candy Moore, Connie L. Markham, Jack Richardson, Abidan Paul Shah, CeCe Tucker, Linda Weaver, Argatha White-Vass and Rev. Johnny Yount.

ACTS is very fortunate to have such a dedicated board, she said. “They really care about their community,” said Peoples. “It’s so important to have people like that in a leadership role,” she added.

The 55th Annual Henderson Shrine Club Fish Fry will be held Wednesday, May 16 in the Vance Square Shopping Center on Raleigh Road in Henderson, across from Supply Line Country Market and M.R. Williams, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Plates are $8 a piece and all proceeds go to support Shriners Hospitals for Children. The event is all-you-can-eat, eat-in or take-out. Delivery is also available for orders of 10 or more.

The group expects to serve a total of 2,500 plates overall, with 800 – 1,000 of those plates delivered by Shriners or volunteers to local businesses.

Volunteers are welcomed and may show up the day of the event to help.

Shriners Ray Fields and Donald Seifert were on “Town Talk” on Monday to provide details about the event. Fields said,  “The fish fry would not be possible or successful without the support of the businesses and people of Vance County.”

The pair reminded the public that this is just as much a positive social event as it is an eating occasion.

Fields informed WIZS listeners that the Shriners currently support 22 hospitals and three burn centers. The money raised from Wednesday’s event will go toward further supporting those efforts.

WIZS will be broadcasting live on location.

Community Partners of Hope 220 Seafood Fish Fry 4-23-18

On Monday, April 23 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m., Community Partners of Hope, which manages the local men’s homeless shelter and Hope House, will host its major fundraiser at 220 Seafood, 1812 North Garnett Street.

Community advocate and devoted volunteer Betty Boyd said, “Our dream is to offer a shelter that is open year-round and is able to provide employment and health resources to the men that we serve.”

Dr. Ron Cava, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Community Partners of Hope, said, “Community Partners of Hope is the only organization serving homeless men in at least the three counties of Vance, Granville, and Warren Counties and perhaps additionally Franklin.”

Boyd said, “When we closed the doors on the morning of April 1, 2018, it marked the 10th season of service for our emergency shelter for homeless men. The shelter is open from November 1 – March 31 each season. 65 men found a safe space, hot shower, warm evening meal, and a comfortable bed through the season. Hope House, our transitional home for men, was opened in April 2015. It is presently home to 6 men, five of those shelter residents this past season.”

Donations are tax deductible and will be accepted at the event or may be mailed to PO Box 1791, Henderson, NC 27536.

Cava said, “The ministry enjoys widespread support from a very diverse segment of our population. I dare say that CPOH does more with less than any other comparable ministry. ”

Volunteer opportunities are available, and your patronage at the fish fry or a gift would be most appreciated and used well to serve the community.
