100 Chicken Broil meals distributed to CRC clients in need

submitted by Melissa Licavoli, Community Resource Center

Thanks to a grant provided by the Washtenaw County Office of Community & Economic Development, as well as to a generous private donation, the Community Resource Center was able to offer a Meal Voucher Program for the 70th annual Chicken Broil.

One hundred tickets were distributed to 38 households in the Manchester area. This new program was met with much exuberance and gratitude by those who may not have been otherwise able to participate in this community event. The Chicken Broil is one of the largest community events in Manchester and it is important that all our neighbors have access to an evening of social gathering and a hot, full meal.

The CRC would also like to thank the Chicken Broil Board and its volunteers for their dedication to this event and to the community that we all serve.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
