Annual Harvest Soup Supper to Benefit the Food Pantry

For over 50 years each October, the Latty Community and surrounding area has generously donated money during Friends United Methodist Church’s annual “Trick or Treat/Harvest Soup Supper.”  This year it will be an “Eat In” or “Drive-Thru” event on Sunday, October 26, 2025 from 4:30-6:00 p.m.

The “Trick or Treating” event is not your typical candy hand-out, but an opportunity to donate to the Caring and Sharing Food Pantry serving all of Paulding County. 

While contributing to feed needy children in the community, you are welcome to join in our FREE “Harvest Soup Supper.”  (The soup represents all the good things from our gardens-or grocery store-cooked together in one pot all afternoon.) In addition to homemade beef vegetable soup with crackers/cornbread there will be shredded chicken, sloppy joe, hot dogs or chili dog sandwiches, plus cookies, brownies, caramel corn, and candy.

Everyone attending can get their FREE meal by dining in or we also offer carry-out meals with a bowl of delicious homemade beef vegetable soup and choice of sandwiches plus all the trimmings! And Children (especially those in costume) will get a bag of “treats.”   

Please join us at 331 Lewis Street, Latty, Ohio for an afternoon of fellowship while also assisting families in our community!  Unable to be there?  You can mail donations to Friends United Methodist Church, PO Box 5, Latty, Ohio 45855.  For more information contact:  Barb Lee (419-670-1898) or Jane Gray (419-786-9651.
