The American Legion, Post 3, Gloucester, will again be proudly delivering free Christmas Holiday Ham Dinners in 2021 to the elderly, shut-ins, veterans, and needy in the Cape Ann area on Friday, December 25, 2021. The meals will again be Free. We will be serving the communities of Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Essex, Ipswich and Hamilton.
“NO ONE SHOULD BE ALONE AND WITHOUT A HOT MEAL AND A SMILE ON CHRISTMAS DAY!”
Our goal is to serve and deliver as many holiday meals as we can to our fellow veterans, their families, the elderly, and other “special citizens.” This past Thanksgiving, even during COVID, we successfully served and delivered over 630 Meals! The demand is still there, if not more, and Post No. 3 of the American Legion intends to honor it.
Due to COVID-19 safety and health concerns ONLY Volunteer Drivers are needed for Christmas Day. Drivers Must Wear Masks when Delivering. Being Fully Vaccinated with a booster is a Plus!.
We will need drivers from 10:15am 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.
