Northborough – On Feb. 9 the Rev. Valeria Schmidt, pastor of the Trinity Church, 23 Main St., dedicated their new certified “Safe Serve” kitchen.

Schmidt recognized all who contributed to the kitchen at a kitchen-themed luncheon after the Sunday service where creative arrangements of kitchen utensils and other kitchen items were used as centerpieces in lieu of floral arrangements. She noted that $46,467.30 in donations was raised. She also acknowledged several local organizations for their contributions.
