On Monday, April 13th, a group of neighbors representing the Harleston Village Association Hearts & Hands, made dinner for the guests at the Fisher House on Wentworth St.
The Fisher House provides temporary lodging, meals, transportation, and more at no cost, allowing Veteran families to stay close together during medical treatment and focus on healing. Fisher Houses are set up to encourage a sense of community while giving private respite to families of Veterans who are receiving medical care at the VA hospital.

The Fisher House relies on volunteers to make evening meals to remove ease daily life for the guests https://friendsoffisherhousecharleston.org/
The group had a fun time preparing the meal of gluten free meatloaf, zucchini risotto, glazed carrots and brownies. Everyone, including the young helpers, pitched in cutting, stirring, cooking and cleaning up the meal for 30 people. As an added bonus, it was also a great way to get to meet and get to know neighbors. Everyone felt it was a great success so the Harleston Village Association Hearts & Hands team will be looking for volunteers each quarter.
Thank you for our first group of volunteers at the Fisher House - Allyson, Augusta, Bailey, Christine, Courtney, Diane, Harper, Marsha, Meg, Rebecca, Susan!
