Free Community Christmas Day Dinner

First Church of Christ, Congregational, at 190 Court Street in Middletown, will host the Free Community Christmas Day Dinner in the church’s Parish Hall from noon to 2 p.m. on December 25 in cooperation with St. Vincent DePaul Place and Amazing Grace Food Pantry. The dinner includes turkey, ham, stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, beans, various condiments, coffee, tea, and many varieties of dessert. Carol singing will be also a part of this festive celebration.

In past years, the event has served approximately 300 dinners to people from all walks of life. At least 100 of the meals are delivered to homes and to the Eddy Shelter.

To order home deliveries or to volunteer to help with preparation, serving, or cleanup, please call First Church at 346-6657 extension 15 and leave a message.

Credit to First Church and to Ellie Gagnon who organizes the Community Dinner every year, and to all of the volunteers from every corner of Middletown who make that magic happen, year after year after year. God bless them, every one.

And we missed you, Paula.
