Kyle Catlett, co-organizer of the event says, “We had considered a drive-in, but then again, there’s still a lot of contact with the volunteers that we cherish dearly getting together to prepare all these dishes.”

Many are upset we don’t have a white Christmas this year, but this warm sunny day has paid dividends for the Lima Community Christmas Dinner. As hundreds showed out for a free meal.
If you walked into the VFW Post 1275 on Christmas Day, it was a packed house for the three hours dinner was being served. A much larger crowd turned out in 2019 than in recent years. One volunteer thought the weather might have something to do with it or it could just be the simple fact it’s a meal that brings people together.
It’s all about the Christmas spirit. That’s why two of the founders the Lima Community Christmas dinner continue to put it on each year.
