With the hustle and bustle of the holidays behind them, current and retired elementary school employees of the Kutztown Area School District got together for fun, fellowship, and food. The food wasn’t just the meal that they all enjoyed at CJ Hummels in Lenhartsville, it was also about giving back to the community. These special people came together for a night while paying it forward for others. Each person attending brought a non-perishable food item, which was then donated to Friend, Inc., a multi-service social agency that supports the well-being of those in need and is committed to strengthening the lives of families and individuals living in Northeastern Berks County.
