The Chadron Caring and Sharing Christmas program is just about done for 2012, with the distribution of Christmas boxes tomorrow. Spokesman Linda Yuradi says 102 families will come in to pick up their boxes at Christmas Central in the St Patrick’s Catholic Church Parish Hall to collect them.
That will leave just the Caring and Sharing Christmas Dinner from noon till 1:30 Tuesday at the Assumption Arena. Yuradi is reminding residents that reservations for home deliveries must be made by noon Monday…although she would prefer to have them by noon on Sunday.
With the weather forecast calling for a 20% chance of snow and high temperatures just in the teens, Yuradi is expecting many people who would normally come in to the Assumption Arena for the meal to ask for deliveries.
Yuradi emphasizes that the Community Christmas Dinner isn’t just for those who might not be able to afford a traditional holiday meal, it’s also for any who wants to celebrate at least part of Christmas with others in the community.
