Christmas Holiday Dinner
The American Legion Post 3, located in Gloucester, will again proudly deliver free Christmas Holiday Ham Dinners to the elderly, shut-ins, veterans, and needy in the Cape Ann area on Monday, December 25, 2023. The meals will be free. We will be serving the communities of Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Essex, Ipswich, Wenham, and Hamilton.
“NO ONE SHOULD BE ALONE AND WITHOUT A HOT MEAL ON CHRISTMAS!”
Our goal is to serve and deliver as many free holiday meals as we can to our fellow veterans, their families, the elderly, and other “special citizens.” This past Thanksgiving, we successfully served and delivered over 670 Meals! In this time of financial insecurity the demand is still there, if not more. Post No. 3 of the American Legion, intends to honor it.
We will be looking for volunteer drivers and servers!
We will need servers from 9:30a.m. until all of the meals have been served, packed and delivered.
We will need drivers from 10:30am until all of the meals have been delivered.
We will again be operating out of the Open Door Food Pantry, 28 Emerson Avenue, Gloucester, MA.
