In lieu of regular meeting last week, Beverly Rotary made 100 take home dinners for home bound Beverly folk. With the guidance of Brenda Mattos of Ellis Square Friends, a nutritious and delicious meal was prepared.Our diners got Mexican seasoned rice. All rice seasonings came from Green Beverly Food diversion program. Corn on the cob that was donated by the American Legion in Middleton. We decided to make Mexican lasagna because we received a case of spinach wraps from our Stop & Shop donation. We prepared for 100 people, we served 96. And today’s win...we served 100 people at $1.06 a serving!!! Yup, Ellis Square Friends spent $106.00 to make that entire meal. So $49.75 of that was spent on Chicken. All we purchased was cheese, sour cream, Salsa and a 10lb bag of rice. And that is how we do it.
Thanks to Brenda, President Connor and all our volunteers who provided a dinner for those most under served #beverlyrotary #ellissquarefriends #district7930 #beverlyma #beverlymainstreets
