CHARLOTTE — Faith formation families at St. Peter Church provided pies, mashed potatoes and gravy for a Turkey Cook-Off Thanksgiving Dinner Nov. 23 at McCreesh Place.
Several family volunteers, both children and adults from the parish, served at this event to support McCreesh Place, which was founded in 1989 by Jesuit Father Eugene McCreesh of St. Peter Church to provide affordable housing for people living on city streets or for those about to be evicted.
The church rented run-down houses from HUD for $1 per year, and volunteers renovated the structures bringing them up to code so that folks could live in them comfortably. It is now part of Supportive Housing Communities, online at www.supportivehousingcommunities.org
