A Tuesday fish fry at Cincinnati Center Hill

The men’s ministry at The Salvation Army Cincinnati Center Hill Corps comes together on Tuesday nights to watch faith-based movies, discuss Scripture, or bond and engage in conversation. But no matter the activity of the night, the key feature of every gathering is sharing a meal together.

 

In September, the men’s ministry used one of its Tuesday nights to host a fish fry fundraiser. The money raised would help send some of its members to men’s camp and other Salvation Army activities. Thanks to a donation of frozen fish from a local distributor, the men served close to 75 people. Along with friends and family- many of the attendees were residents from The Salvation Army’s low-income senior housing apartments, located next to the corps.

 

The men’s ministry also pitched in to serve food, drinks, and dessert. The corps had received a donation of three fryers, and two of the men plus a member of the corps’ women’s ministry, a trained chef, handled the cooking.

 

Though the event had a few hang-ups, like the corps’ circuit breaker popping because the air fryers were all running in unison, The corps looks forward to having this event again.
