For more than 13 months now, COVID-19 has negatively impacted the lives of so many people around the world. And it is no different here in our hometown of Suffolk — the need to support and express love to others still prevails. To that end, the Galatians Church family and friends committed to offering support to Suffolk Meals on Wheels.
On April 25, the congregation and friends of the church donated a collection of paper items and cleaning and sanitizing products to the nonprofit organization.
A host of congregants and friends witnessed this event in person or participating online via Zoom.
