“The Easter Buffet is a wonderful tradition in the community and we love to see families come together and join us for lunch after their church services,” said Angelia Bostick, executive director of Good Samaritan Ministries. “You’d pay $10 almost anywhere you go to eat so it’s really a bargain to have so many choices of food prepared by Sodexo.”
In addition, the staff and board members of GSM will be serving as hosts and hostesses at the event.
