On Aug. 23, Gowrie Group employees served a BBQ lunch to the community at Grace Church in Old Saybrook. More than 40 Gowrie employees teamed together to provide, prepare, and serve a BBQ feast to almost 50 guests of the Shoreline Soup Kitchens & Pantries (SSKP). This is the ninth year that Gowrie has hosted a lunch for its neighbors on the Connecticut shoreline.

The luncheon was, once again, spearheaded by Lindas Dillon, a longtime employee of Gowrie Group, a dedicated SSKP volunteer, and past member of the SSKP Board of Trustees.
