Global Connections

Saturday, July 10th, Global Connections celebrated their 2nd annual ISW Picnic and Household Item Drive.  It was held at a housing complex on Greensburg Pike Road just south of BG.

Household items were offered for the taking.  This was followed by great chili provided by GC volunteer, Rebecca Smith.  Toppings, salads and desserts were served by  partner church volunteers.  Games including ‘balloon toss’ and ‘hit the pinata’ for children and young adults were hosted by Mercedes Nabor, another volunteer.  The evening ended with donations of Welcome Bags filled with practical and fun items for teens and adults as well as goodie-filled backpacks for the children.

In all, probably 75 Latino workers and their families were served and about thirty volunteers also enjoyed the fun, food and fellowship of the night!
