Holy Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church, 604 Fourth St., Catasauqua, hosted a well-attended lasagna dinner Oct. 10. The effort raised money for Lehigh Valley Outreach Depot.

The Lehigh Valley Outreach Depot is a community outreach program providing furniture, household goods and disaster relief supplies for those in need. It is a registered nonprofit organization and nondenominational ministry developed under the guidance of Mission Central of the United Methodist Church. It is a completely volunteer run with no paid staff. Visit lvoutreachdepot.org for more information.

There were four scheduled dinner seatings for the meal, and more than a dozen volunteers assisted.

In the kitchen, Holy Trinity Pastor Brian Riedy, Diane Carfara and a gentlemen who preferred being identified as Country were busy as they cooked and served 120 preordered lasagna dinners during the event.

There were five pleasant waitstaff, including Shelly Burns of Catasauqua and Eric Tracy of Northampton, delivering lasagna dinners to the tables. Jason Carfara, the dining hall coordinator, demonstrated how a leader discharges leadership duties as he pitched in wherever needed.

Jenn Carfara was the dinner hostess and escorted patrons to tables. Lilah Carfara was the drinks coordinator, pushing her refreshments cart around the hall delivering drinks to patrons.

The reservations check-in list coordinators, Lucy Lynn of Catasauqua and Mary Farner of Northampton, checked people in at the door before they were seated.

Holy Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church of Catasauqua, under the leadership of Riedy and a strong, active volunteer team, continues to host events and dinners in the church social hall for the benefit of other human service organizations. The church receives no funds from these volunteer efforts as all money raised goes to the designated human service group.
