The Endicott Elks, 619 North Nanticoke Avenue in Endicott, will serve a spaghetti and meatball dinner tomorrow from  5 - 8 PM to benefit CHOW.  All proceeds from the meal will go to help CHOW fight hunger in our community.

Along with money raised through dinner sales there will be door prizes available and food donations will be accepted.  Appearing this morning on WNBF First News with Roger Neel CHOW Director Mike Leahey said the need for additional food supplies comes as school prepares to close down for the summer months.  Children from needy families who have been able to access nutritional and balanced meals throughout the school year will now need the benefit of more food available at home.

Pasta, peanut butter, cereal, canned soups and spaghetti sauce are items that are needed
