Nottingham Garden Club Wraps Almost 2,000 Utensils for Mercer County Charities

Nottingham Garden Club members wrapped nearly 2,000 forks and knives in paper napkins as part of its December and January annual charity for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) and Meals on Wheels. The effort included donating baskets of canned goods.

Organized by club member Cathy W., she said, TASK was happy to receive the utensils and canned goods.

 The two-month drive reflects the community-focused club's year-long commitment to support local charitable and historical causes and community investment projects.

The meeting also included demonstrations on how to decorate plants with bows.
