Hawaiian Meal on a Snowy Day
Despite the storm that blew through central Pennsylvania this week, making the roads an icy mess, we still hosted Community Harvest!
The meal for the day was Hawaiian meatballs- meatballs on rice with sweet and sour sauce and pineapples- with roasted vegetables and applesauce! We were lucky to have volunteers from St. Pauls United Church of Christ in West Milton to help set up and begin preparing the meal.
We started out by peeling carrots and chopping up sunchokes, a root vegetable, to make the side.
The image below is a sunchoke, which tastes like a water chestnut before it is cooked, and similar to a potato if it is baked.
The result was a delicious vegetable medley.
The Lewisburg Community Garden provided us with a few heads of cabbage, that regular volunteer Sarah processed to add to the vegetable mix.
As usual, we had help from Eddie, who knows the Community Harvest routine better than anyone.
By the time dinner was ready to serve, there were 68 people ready and waiting, a pretty good turnout on a day with such nasty weather! We had a handful of volunteers from Bucknell and St. Paul's to serve dinner. As a surprise dessert, we had Mr. Sticky's Sticky Buns from a Bucknell Brigade fundraiser!
Next week dinner will be prepared by a local restaurant! During the month of December and early January, we always need more volunteers because students are away so check out our website to volunteer! Volunteer here!

Post-Thanksgiving Creativity
This week at Community Harvest, we had the all familiar challenge of how to incorporate Thanksgiving leftovers into another delicious meal. We decided to make chicken stir fry with remaining vegetables, a salad, and squash side dish.
We started out by chopping peppers and the squash down to size. We peeled and boiled carrots and broccoli to have as a second healthy side dish.
Volunteers from Delta Gamma Sorority at Bucknell and from a local youth group helped serve the meal and clean up afterwards!
Many hands make for light work! If you or a group is interested in volunteering at Community Harvest, check out our website at https://sites.google.com/a/bucknell.edu/community-harvest/!
