Their free community dinner Sunday was open to everyone while supplies lasted.

According to organization president Beck Provenzano, they prepared enough food to serve 300 meals containing turkey, noodles, corn, rolls, mini pumpkin tarts, mashed potatoes and stuffing with gravy.

The organization was created to serve communities of women across various denominations and states without any limitations.

Eventually Provenzano said that God told her that she could be doing more, so several women gathered for the WOW inaugural meeting last year.

Shanna Hinerman serves as vice president, Lynda Rose as treasurer and Kayla Beaver on the board of directors for WOW, which recently received its official 501c3.

This was the first year for the hot dine-in meal, as WOW has offered baskets containing the meals to prepare in past years.

Any remaining food was to be given to the House of Grace and Family Care Ministries for distribution.

Area youth group members served as wait staff during the dinner.

Sponsors for the Saturday’s dinner also included Chester Veterans of Foreign Wars, Everyday Church, Davis Brothers Pharmacy, Milk & Honey Farmstead, Smith Oil Co., Chris Arnott Agency, Chester American Legion, Hancock County Savings Bank, 1st Presbyterian Church of New Cumberland and various personal donors.
