LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A local business says thank you to everyone who helps them give back to the Lima community. Fresh N Faded held a dinner to show their appreciation to volunteers, individual donors, and corporate sponsors. Their supporters were treated to a free catered dinner and a live DJ. With the support of the community, Fresh N Faded has been able to do a lot of good work for families in need.
“They do back-to-school stuff for the kids, they’re constantly helping people with different kinds of needs. Shoes, clothes, haircuts, and all kinds of things. They’re very involved with the needs of the community. That’s kind of where we’re going. We started a business so we could get more involved in the community. It’s great to step up next to these guys and help support them and support the people who are supporting the people.” Says Abdul Jaad, who catered for the event and works with Fresh N Faded on their community programs.
Quincy Peoples, the Director of Team Outreach Lima, credits their sponsors and supporters for helping make their work in the community a reality. “Because of our sponsors all of this is made possible, that’s why it’s called Team Outreach Lima. Because it’s not just about us, when we come together as a community, we outreach and bring everybody together all these events are possible, and we appreciate you guys.”
Food left over at the end of the event was donated to a local soup kitchen. Organizers are also still accepting donations of candy for Trunk or Treat at Fresh N Faded. Donations can be brought to their location on Main Street.
