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 Sunday, December 25, 2022. The meals will be free. We will be serving the communities of Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Essex, Ipswich, Wenham, and Hamilton. The American Legion Post No. 3’s mission is simple,
“THIS IS A DAY OF GIVING. 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 600 Meals! In this time of financial insecurity the demand is still there, if not more, and We, the Legionnaires of Post No. 3 of the American Legion, intend to honor it.
We will be looking for volunteer drivers and servers!
We will need drivers from 10:15am until all of the meals have been delivered.
We will need servers from 9:30a.m. until all of the meals have been served, packed and delivered.
We will again be operating out of the Open Door Food Pantry, 28 Emerson Avenue, Gloucester, MA.
