Jim & Jessie Carter Honored by Food Closet

At Bethany’s June 27, 2021 worship service, the South Sacramento Interfaith Partnership (SSIP) Food Closet honored Bethany members Jim and Jessie Carter. Loretta Fransham, Board Chair, presented the Carters with T-shirts and a plaque recognizing their decades of service to the Food Closet. A recent contribution by the Carters was Jessie’s organizing of a “virtual bowl-a-thon” to take the place of the event cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She single-handedly raised more than $7,000 through this effort. Congratulations and thanks to Jim and Jessie for their ongoing commitment to the SSIP Food Closet!
