Engaged couple donates wedding meal to Harvey victims
When Hurricane Harvey forced Houston couple Dayna Skolkin and Josh Tillis to postpone their pre-wedding dinner, they decided to use the occasion to help storm victims. The couple had planned to hold a dinner for friends and family the night before their nuptials, at local community center Aishel House. Harvey disrupted those plans, but the food had already arrived — so Skolkin and Tillis decided to serve the three-course meal to evacuees sheltering at the center instead. Weary guests dined on chicken, mashed potatoes, bread rolls, and vegetables. "It was nice that the fruits of our would-be wedding weekend went to such a better cause," Skolkin told People.
