The Sparta American Legion, located at 1116 Angelo Road in Sparta, will be hosting their 30th Community Christmas Dinner on December 25th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The dinner is a traditional holiday feast, fit for all appetites. The intent of the dinner is to share in the holiday spirit.
Sparta residents are encouraged to join in, get closer, and connect with the community. For those who cannot get to the dinner, delivery services are available, by calling the American Legion, at 269-4411. We will have both dine in and carryout available, as well delivery options. Also, reservations for 5 or more people are requested, so we can make sure that everyone has a table when they arrive.
There is no charge for the meal, but freewill donations will be accepted. Proceeds from the event will be returned back into the community, through local charities. Last year, over 700 meals were served. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, over 800 meals were served annually, with a peak one year of 1,000 meals. All monies donated went to local nonprofit organizations.
We are also looking for volunteers to assist. If you can spare even an hour or two of time, with kitchen duties, serving/busing tables, or delivering meals, please sign up by calling the Legion at 269-4411.
We realize that organizations must budget for upcoming events, such as this, so we ask that you consider the Community Christmas Dinner when budgeting decisions are planned. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Please make check payable to the Sparta American Legion with the memo: "Community Christmas Dinner".
The American Legion is a nonprofit 501 (C) (19) organization that provides serves and programs for Veteran's, their families, and the community.
