Chili Dinner

February 25th

Pick-up dinners 4:00 – 6:00 PM at Fellowship Hall

The Greensboro Free Library will host our take-out community chili dinner to raise funds for the library. It will be held on Friday, February 25th, 4:00 – 6:00 pm. Pick up your dinners at Fellowship Hall, Greensboro United Church, Wilson St., Greensboro.

People of all ages are invited to come take the chill out of winter by partaking in a variety of chili’s. Pick them up at Fellowship Hall, Greensboro United Church, Wilson St., Greensboro. Take them home and enjoy them!

Food will be provided by volunteers of the library. Suggested donation is $8 for adults and $3 for children. All donations will go to support library operations. Call the library at 533-2531 for more information, or to contribute to the wonderful food.

We are looking for help to make the food or assist with packing up and handing out the meals. Choices of what to make for food are beef or vegetarian chili and chocolate chip cookies without nuts. If you can donate food, please let us know the approximate quantity to help us plan. Food donations can be brought by from 2:30-3:30 so we can pack them up — the chili can be cold, as folks will be reheating it at home.

Many thanks to Willey’s Store and the Cellars at Jasper Hill for their generous support of supplies.
