We need community support to provide this dinner and are looking for volunteers who would like to cook or make a donation.

We are most in need bakers willing to cook about 15 pies and 16 batches of cookies. We also need turkeys, hams, potatoes, squash, stuffing and gravy mixes, cranberry jelly, and 9-12 dozen rolls.

If you would like to cook, make a donation, or work at the dinner please call Pam Newton @ 897-3072

If you wish to join us For Christmas Dinner call:

Karen Mitchell @ 897-3593 and leave your name and how many will be attending. This will help us in our meal planning.

There will be meal delivery available in the local area.
This dinner is supported by the Tri-Town Ministers and excess donations will be given to the Food Bank.

The backstory about the dinner is:

More than ten years ago, Betty Richard and I both approached our minister during the same week about the need for a Free Christmas Dinner in our area. He decided that if two people felt it was needed, he should help us make it take place. And so the community Christmas dinner began. The first year we served about 35-40 people and since then it has grown to around 65-70 meals being served. We have numerous volunteers who help by doing everything from peeling potatoes to setting up the tables or delivering meals. Some come and spend an hour or so before going home to their families and others spend the day with us. We have no budget and rely completely on donations of food and money.

We find that many people come, eat, and then stay and enjoy conversations with the others who are present. We try to send each person away after the dinner with a small assortment of home baked cookies as a gift.

I hope this helps. If you need more information you can give me or Pam Newton a call. We appreciate the Legion's generous support of our efforts. Thanks.
