The DeKalb Emergency Services Association (DESA) will be preparing and delivering hot meals and sack lunches to the needy or underserved on Christmas Eve Friday, December 24.
Each plate lunch will consist of baked ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, roll, and a dessert. Sack lunches will be provided for recipients to enjoy later.
More than 500 food trays were prepared and delivered on Thanksgiving morning.
Cooking and food preparation will begin early Friday morning, December 24 at the county complex kitchen. Volunteers will then load their personal vehicles with food trays and set out to deliver them in time for the recipients’ noon time meal.
Those who received a Thanksgiving meal will not need to sign up for the Christmas Eve list but please text or call 615-390-0297 or 615-712-4286.
Anyone who would like a meal but did not receive one on Thanksgiving should call 615-390-0297 or 615-712-4286.
Volunteers who would like to help on Christmas Eve should call 615-390-0189.
Donations can be made by venmo @Blake-Cantrell-4, by calling 615-390-0189, or stop by Wilson Bank & Trust.
