Warm Meals, Big Smiles!
A flock of crows were spotted serving hot meals to their Winston Neighbors! What a gift it is to work and serve together! Did you know that Senior Services gives volunteers golf balls to make door knocks louder so the elderly residents can hear? And we thought they were just for Friday putt putt ….
Reach out to Philip Summers or Lucy Calhoun if you want to join us on our next route!
Welcome Fish!
Today was Fish’s first day at the Crow, and it was wonderful! We are so excited to partner with CCA to host a chaplain. Please reach out to Chaplain Fish Figueroa; 919-582-7327 ext. 5138; Video intro.
Saying Grace
Today is the first day our kitchen is open, and we are all very excited! Chef Tony led us in a quick prayer time to “Say Grace,” to give thanks, and to ask a blessing on the kitchen. The gratitude expressed in prayer and by those who were able to attend was real. The true heart of Psalm 34, which says “Taste and see that the Lord is good,” was evident. We asked for the grace to never take such blessings (a company that cares about its employees, a chef, a beautiful kitchen, the ability to work) for granted.
Having fun outside!
Beautiful fall weather for the week of the Feast of Tabernacles, such a wonderful week to be outside. We had fun playing in two golf tournaments and raising money for great causes. On Monday, we attended the Energize Ministries tournament, and today we participated in the 26th Annual Valarie Anne Moser Tournament. Purple Crow has supplied food for every edition, and this year Chef Tony’s burgers were again delicious. We loved Happy’s Ice Cream, too!
Serving Seniors with JOY!
It is so good to be neighbors with Senior Services! Being part of Meals on Wheels is so meaningful and mutually beneficial as we work to develop crowmunity.

A Mercado to Remember
The first annual Crow Mercado was a blast! We are so thankful to all the vendors who participated and the shoppers who came and shopped till they dropped! The artwork below ‘Crow Doing Crow Things’ was drawn by our employees and their families!
Cameron Mallory

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Song by Fred Rogers
This morning, we met our neighbors at Senior Services. We all came away so impressed by their work and their deep care for our community. We learned that in our very zip code of 27105 there are many seniors in the Meals on Wheels program. Meals on Wheels is feeling like a great way to met even more of our neighbors.
Redeemer
Lucy and I were encouraged today by a visit from the head of Redeemer School. Loryn, we are so glad to have you in our Crowmunity!
#the Pit
