Church helps provide meals for Easter
CANFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) -Members of a local church did their part to help others enjoy a hot meal for Easter.
This is the fourth year that parishioners at Saint Michael's in Canfield have collected hams and colored eggs and other items to be given to three local soup kitchens so they can provide a holiday meal later this week.
This is the same church that has been gathering cooked turkeys at Thanksgiving for many years.
'It's a long way between Thanksgivings and people need help in between, so ham is so simple to do. You don't have to cook it ahead. It's already cooked for you,' said Juanita Sherba, a church member.
For fun, organizers also asked specifically for colored eggs and then named the project after the Dr. Seuss classic 'Green Eggs and Ham.'
'It made it a lot of fun. I think people enjoyed it,' Sherba said.
Wednesday's effort brought in 52 dozen eggs, some with inspirational messages on the shells, and 128 hams — enough to feed more than 5,000 people.
