Turning Corned Beef into Affordable Homes for Low Income Families
Next month our church, Samuel United Church of Christ in Clayton, is doing something incredible. We are converting a large quantity of corned beef, lamb stew, sides and desserts into a portion of an affordable home for a low income family in St. Louis. That is right, we are hosting our annual St. Patrick's Day lunch and dinner at our church to help fund a home through Habitat for Humanity here in St. Louis. All the meat and sides are being donated by the Kern Meat Company who is also preparing the delicious feast. Beverages and scrumptious homemade desserts are being provided by the members and friends of Samuel UCC, as well as the labor to serve everybody. That means 100% of the proceeds are going to Habitat to provide funding for the future home of a needy St. Louis family. Our church is not earning a dime, and neither is Kern Meat Company. Better yet, any tickets purchased in advance before March 1 will be matched 100% by a donor to increase the funding to Habitat eve
