As part of the women’s ministry at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Pat White has served for years as the group’s volunteer coordinator — corralling fellow church members and friends to give one hour a month to serving meals to the shelter’s residents.White and her volunteers are an extension of a partnership that’s lasted for decades. For more than 30 years, the church’s women’s ministry has helped fill hundreds of thousands of plates. But at the end of this month, the ladies will serve their last meals.After the COVID-19 pandemic dwindled their volunteer force and as the ladies have progressed into their senior years, they’ve made the difficult decision to step back. October 28 will be their last day serving meals.✍️ Briah Lumpkins🎥 Khadejeh Nikouyeh🔗 https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article312398917.html | The Charlotte Observer
