The American Legion will be hosting its 31st Community Christmas Dinner this year Dec. 25 from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. The dinner will be held at Sparta America Legion at 1116 Angelo Rd in Sparta. 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 608-269-4411. Dine in, carry out and delivery options are available. Reservations for five or more people are requested to call ahead so everyone has a table.
There is no charge for the meal. However, donations will be accepted. Proceeds from the event will be returned back to 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 over 1,000 meals. All monies donated went to local nonprofit organizations. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Checks can be made payable to the Sparta American Legion with the memo: "Community Christmas Dinner".
Volunteers are needed to assist with kitchen duties, serving/busing tables, or delivering meals. Please sign up by calling the Legion.
