Christmas dinner organizers seek food donations

Organizers of the annual Community Christmas Dinner are seeking donations of turkeys, hams and pies.

The group is seeking 55 20-pound turkeys, 40 five-pound hams and many pies, according to Deb Engstrom, one of the organizers. Anyone who would like to donate meat is asked to call or email Engstrom at 330-3105 or deb5550@juno.com before Dec. 15.

Engstrom said pies can be dropped off after 6 a.m. Christmas Day at First United Methodist Church, 946 Vt., or she will arrange for them to be picked up if donors call or email her.

The free dinner will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Christmas Day at the church.
