The FREE Community Christmas Basket will be held again following last year’s design. Families who receive are excited at the opportunity to prepare their own Christmas meal and invite someone else to their celebration. We believe no one should have to spend Christmas without a great meal. Just call 715-644-2693 by December 2, 2024 to reserve a basket for pickup or delivery. Baskets will be available on Dec. 16, 2024 at Trinity Vineyard Church east of Stanley on County Highway X at 2:00 p.m.
The meal will consist of a Christmas basket of pre-packaged meat items and select sides that individuals can prepare for their Christmas meal. There is such a need for this meal in our area. When it started 17 years ago we served 125 meals, last year it was 165 baskets providing over 400 meals. Due to limited amounts of meals available emphasis will be for the elderly, those receiving Meals on Wheels, single parent families and individuals who spend Christmas alone.
As evidenced by the many wonderful volunteers and benefactors of the past years, this is an event our communities support and enjoy doing – giving back to others. In these trying times there is still a need for this Christmas blessing. Monetary donations are appreciated to bless as many as possible. Your expression of generosity may be mailed to Trinity Vineyard Church, P.O. Box 46, Stanley, WI 54768. Notate in the memo Christmas Dinner.
Thank you for helping others.
“This whole event is just a Blessing to all who receive and all who help,” said chairperson Linda Hakes
