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!
