On November 23, the Bar Association of Frederick County (BAFC) and the Salvation Army got together to spread a little holiday cheer. About 30 BAFC members gathered at the Frederick Salvation Army to serve hot Thanksgiving dinners to over 370 Frederick residents. Through donations, BAFC bought the meals, which were then prepared by the Salvation Army staff and served by the members.

“I thought it would be fun and also be something important for the community,” says Committee Chair Scott Hartinger, who planned the annual event at the request of BAFC President Stephen Carper. “Everyone was thankful to the Salvation Army for the work that they did.”

BAFC will continue its charitable efforts on March 4 when it holds its Art Auction to benefit the Interfaith Housing Alliance.
