Give a crock

Approximately 20 members of the Houston Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta gathered at Judy Ann McCartney’s home to assemble boxes with fresh produce and a crockpot. In packaging the crockpots, the Thetas helped launch the “Give a Crock” campaign, a pilot program created by food rescue organization Second Servings of Houston. Crockpots are given to interested, low-income individuals who live in efficiency apartments at New Hope Housing – an organization that provides affordable housing. Because their apartments do not have stovetops, the residents don’t have an economical way to cook fresh produce in their rooms. Second Servings plans to deliver 1,000 crockpots across New Hope Housing’s eight locations by summer 2020 and then extend it to other charities. Pictured are members of the Houston Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta: (from left) Dina Ormiston, Judy Ann McCartney, Linda Brown Mueller, Suzanne Caram, Cooky Mays and Maura McCarthy.
