Potpie, Baked Fruit, Biscuits and Cookies Get 2015 Started Right!

On Saturday, January 3, Dr. Rader and Mr. Womack led a dozen Big Red Servants to the Holy Name Catholic Church to serve 100 chilly Nashvillians a warm meal of chicken pot pie, Mrs. Williams's baked fruit, and some delicious Christie Cookies. The Ancient Aliens expert showed his classic cooking skills while MVP Jackson McFadden got his hands dirty at the deep sink. The selfless students showed great teamwork and determination to make a delectable meal worth devouring after the population had been served. Special thanks to all who willingly woke up before noon on winter break and devoted their time to helping others.
