Our sweet potato drop was a success!
Here is the backstory as to how it came together:
A local TN farmer donated all the sweet potatoes left in his fields after regular picking for grocery stores.
About 50 women & 1 man worked over three weeks to cut & knot 5,000 mesh bags.
About 100 people worked 4500 hours to bag 40,000 sweet potatoes.
Bags were picked up for distribution to hungry families by 10 non-profit agencies in middle TN to feed an estimated 4,000 families.
Our thanks to the Society of Saint Andrew for coordinating all of these efforts. Westminster folks are grateful to be a part of making it all happen.
