We were delighted when The Arc of Indiana County requested our sponsorship and catering services for their Meet & Greet event, which supports individuals with disabilities.
The organization selected Turkey, Ham, and plain cheese hoagies, and we supplemented these options with chips and fruit cups. Additionally, we included a $100 gift card to Yarnicks Farm and Greenhouses, which was raffled off to provide an opportunity for individuals with disabilities to win a prize.
Given the event's purpose, our fire department opted to donate all cost proceeds from the catering menu to The Arc, recognizing the organization's numerous contributions to the community. The Arc hosts numerous beneficial events for the county, and we felt privileged to participate in this evening's event.
We extend our sincerest gratitude to Dan and Lanette Yarnick for their exceptionally generous donations to our fire department, including cases of tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and numerous onions, which enabled us to offer a diverse selection of fresh vegetables in our hoagies.
Following the event, we donated the leftover 75 hoagies, all dressing packets, 2 cases of chips, and over 25 fruit cups to the Chevy Chase Center in Indiana, knowing that the food would be distributed to individuals in need within the community.
We had the pleasure of working with Michelle and Rena, who were instrumental in coordinating the event, and we look forward to sponsoring their fall event in October.
Congratulations to the winner of the $100 Yarnick's gift card, who was visibly thrilled and expressed her gratitude in sign language to her caregiver. Thank you to all parties involved in making this event a success and for demonstrating kindness and goodwill towards individuals with disabilities who deserve love, support, and enjoyment โค๏ธ
Please also keep in prayer Becca Boston, an employee who helped plan this event who was in an unfortunate accident and recovering day to day through a long journey ๐
