The Ladies of Charity of Northern Utah hosted its annual Grateful Hearts BBQ at St. Olaf Catholic Church June 25, for about 400 community members and those who support the association in all that they do to assist those in need. Their Center of Hope Food Pantry and Thrift Store now assists more than 1,600 food insecure community members from many ZIP codes.
The fun event included hamburgers and hot dogs, as well as pulled pork sandwiches, a silent auction a bake sale, a meat-lovers drawing, and fish pond for the kids. This would not have been possible without the support of our dedicated local businesses, other religious denomination churches and generous individuals.
The annual BBQ is the Ladies of Charity’s way of acknowledging the on-going support they require to keep their mission going successfully. Both COVID and ensuing inflation have taken a toll on many members who seek help from the Center of Hope.
“It was wonderful to realize that those who are able, choose to help those in need,” said Mary Ellen Dworshak, Ladies of Charity Community Outreach.
“The food and getting together with friends for conversations was great; it was a great day,” said Bobby Earl, Ladies of Charity President.
