Candace Witte (Left) runs a tight ship as head chef
one Wednesday per month at MACC |
Two nights a week Madison Avenue Christian Church welcomes local families and individuals into their space for a dinner provided by volunteers and donations. Candace Witte, of Licking Riverside, became a team leader like Old Seminary Square's Kathy Groob when both served on a committee that met at the MACC for former Mayor Denny Bowman. Now, Witte is in charge of Wednesday nights once a month and pays to feed the hungry that range in age from babies to seniors. Witte and her team each contribute $20 to pay for the food themselves with occasional generous food donations by local businesses. Busken Bakery always provides donuts for the guests to take home with them following dinner. Wednesday night more than 70 people assembled at the MACC for dinner, a number lower than recent weeks where the guests were closer to two-hundred. The volunteers purchase, prep and serve the food and then clean-up. Want to help? Email
