MASSENA — Over 250 Christmas dinners were served by Massena Amvets Post 4 volunteers on Christmas Day again this year.
It continues a tradition for about the last15 years of providing for veterans and community members with options to eat in, take-out or delivery of their holiday meals.
“We had about 20 volunteers helping cook, serve, or deliver 175 of the meals to shut-ins,” said Amvets Commander Jim Gardner.
“I would like to thank everybody who helped out with this Christmas dinner. I would like to thank my wife, Susan, who cooked the 17 full turkeys and 8 turkey breasts, along with several other kitchen volunteers,” said Gardner.
Gardner also credited Mike Knowlton, of Knowlton and Sons Inc., Norwood, for donating 17 turkeys, and Vonda Davis for donating the cake.
