The Holiday Season is upon us! Thanksgiving is Thursday, but we celebrated early at Community Harvest. This Monday we had more volunteers than ever to help make a delicious meal with seven different dishes plus dessert!
We started out by washing kale, swiss chard, and spinach that was grown in the Community Garden. Below the brothers of Phi Kappa Psi are hard at work despite the cold water.
There was a plethora of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots to be washed, peeled, and chopped. The squash was also chopped up and baked. The processing was a team effort and went smoothly, with only a few cut fingers.
And of course Lynn, the Community Harvest director, had her ever important no-cut glove.
At the same time, there was stuffing in the oven and potatoes being mashed! Most importantly was the main course- turkey, provided by Parkhurst Dining Services. Ben, another director and regular volunteer, carved the turkey with the boys from Phi Psi.
The result was a beautiful buffet of all the holiday staples: turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, bread, squash, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, creamed spinach, and homemade pumpkin bars.
The meal was served with help from Bucknell Students in Catholic Campus Ministry, and all the volunteers stayed to help with the cleanup endeavor.
With everyone's help, well over one hundred people enjoyed a warm Thanksgiving meal with their community this week. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Community Harvest!!!
