Christmas community dinner to return
Volunteers are needed to help with a free meal to be served on Christmas Day at Westbrook-Warren Congregational Church, 810 Main St.
The dinner returns after a pandemic hiatus. It continues a tradition that began in 2006, but was canceled from 2020-2022.
The church is seeking volunteers to help prepare the meal and serve it.
“We are asking for contributions and donations from local businesses, professionals, merchants and individuals. Your help will make this much needed offer for the community a huge success once again,” Joy Knight, an organizer, said in a press release.
