Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio will host its 3rd Annual Gala on October 10, 2024. This year’s theme will be Boots & Bandanas and guests will be invited to wear their favorite western attire.
Platinum Sponsor Plante Moran is leading the way with its support for the Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio Benevolent Care Fund, which provides support to care for older adults who have outlived their resources.
Organizers share that “We would also like to thank our Gold Sponsors, Hometown Pharmacy and the Water Equipment Company for their ongoing generous support.”
The gala will take place at 6:00 p.m. at Ebenezer Mennonite Church at 8905 Columbus Grove-Bluffton Road, Bluffton. Guests will be treated to a dinner of pulled pork, pulled chicken, baked beans with brisket, smashed potatoes with gravy, coleslaw, corn muffins, and cheesecake. The meal will be catered by City BBQ.
