A Fort Wayne nonprofit is back in Lima this weekend to give away clothes to families in need.
“Well, we started about six, seven years ago,” said Quincy Peoples, Director of Fresh-N-Faded Team Outreach Lima. “We teamed up with fresher faded, you know, we reach out to the community of Lima, and they make these events special for either the nursing homes or the community or for the kids. That’s why it’s called Team Outreach Lima.”
Fresh-n-Faded and Team Outreach Lima made the season merry and bright for some seniors. The 2nd annual Christmas at Lochhaven party was held Thursday afternoon. First in the morning, Team Outreach and Santa brought presents to the residents at Lochhaven-- then in the afternoon they played their annual Bingo game. There were Christmas cookies passed around, gift bags and baskets were passed out, and Christmas music was played by the DJ. For Team Outreach and Fresh-n-Faded, this partnership has done what it set out to do since it was created, and that is make an impact in the community that shaped them.
A turkey giveaway will help local families have a great thanksgiving. Fresh-N-Faded, Endifferent Taste, and Lima City Councilman Derry Glenn will be handing turkeys to families this Wednesday at Fresh-N-Faded.
