Friends Of Christmas Deliver

400 Meals of Holiday Cheer

Santa Claus wasn’t the only one checking the list twice! Kendra Beijen and Ann Steen, coordinators for the Friends of Christmas dinners, check their list of recipients as they prepare to hand out the last of the Christmas dinners at St. Mary’s church earlier this afternoon. “We have been preparing food since five this morning!” said Steen. ” Because of social distancing we could only have three people in the kitchen at a time. but being able to dispense the food here at Saint Mary’s was a God-send. People were able to drive right up to the door, which made it a lot faster.” With the help of 11 delivery drivers, Friends of Christmas were able to deliver 400 meals of turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, applesauce and dessert to families in the community.
