The Beverly Rotary Club, partnering with Ellis Square Friends made and delivered meals to 96 folks and prepared for 25 indoor diners, and then came the CORN! We received a donation of 200 ears of corn. What a wonderful gift, but holy shucking! That meant shucking, cutting all that corn off the cob, and finding room to store it all.

We made a faux corn chowder, served up a deconstructed shepherd's pie, and finished the meal with oven-steamed corn on the cob.
 
Rotary was the STAR of the show! Their help made all that extra work possible, and the corn was a HUGE hit with our diners!
 
The Ellis Square regular crew was absolutely thrilled to have the extra helping hands. When you're feeding our community, a little extra help goes a LONG way, especially when 200 ears of corn decide to join the party!
 
We took our "service above self" literally serving those in need in Beverly.
