Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO) has announced a fundraiser that can also make your Christmas week a little easier.

On Thursday, December 21, MHCO invites the community to participate in a Drive-Through Noodles and Pie Fundraiser. Organizers explain, "This heartwarming initiative aims to offer a convenient and delicious meal option during the busy week before Christmas, all while supporting our Benevolent Care Fund. This fund helps pay for longtime residents to continue living at the facility after they've outlived their resources."

Here's how it works: Place your order by Thursday, December 14, 2023 by calling Ryan Gathard at 937-547-7652 or emailing your order to [email protected].
