For the last 30 years, community members in the Vernal area have ensured that anyone in need of a hot Christmas dinner is sure to receive one. The Helping Hands Christmas Dinner was organized to take over on the one night a year that all the employees for Meals On Wheels have off. It has grown over the years to include any household in the community in need of a hot Christmas meal. The Ashley Valley Calvary Chapel took over the effort about 18 years ago and it has continued to grow, shares coordinator Christina Daggett. Headquartered at Western Park
on December 24th
, many in the community donate and volunteer to pull off the cooking and delivering of the Christmas dinner each year. Volunteers willing to help deliver the meals are asked to meet
at 4:00pm
at the Western Park
on December 24th.
Nominations for households in need of a meal are also still welcome. To nominate or for more information, call
