The Bellechester Community Center Association successfully ran two fundraising suppers at the facility on November 3rd and 17th. The meals are open to everyone and support the center’s continuing needs of building maintenance.
The fundraiser, which originally served egg-muffin sandwiches to 35 people, has grown to a Thanksgiving-style feast that served 500 guests at its first bi-weekly meal in 2022. Support for the event remains strong with another large turnout in 2023 and many take-out meals sold. Organizers said they also had a lot of help preparing the food and everything ran like clockwork. Any food leftover is donated to a charity through the efforts of one of their members.
Thanks to the suppers and other fundraising efforts, the property has had many recent upgrades including new furnaces, air conditioning and basement windows. The outdoor sign will also be replaced soon.
