With the generosity of the Schmidt Foundation and collaboration with the United Way of Ellis County, we are happy to provide a free Christmas Dinner to individuals in the community on Wednesday, Dec. 23.

“The Schmidt Foundation is pleased to partner with the United Way to help families in our community celebrate the spirit of Christmas. It is always so exciting to see how our community comes together to help each other,” said Gary Shorman, chairman of the Schmidt Foundation.

The Press, 230 E. Eighth, and Thirsty’s, 2704 Vine, will be providing the meals and pick up will be from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Dec. 23.

The meals will be served cold in reheatable containers.

You will select your choice of location on the sign up form that you can find on the United Way of Ellis County’s website, www.liveunited.us/community-christmas-dinner.

Erica Berges, executive director of the United Way of Ellis County said, “We are always looking for ways to help support the community. This opportunity has come at a time when people need that extra helping hand, especially over the holidays.”

Sign up for meals is going on now until Wednesday, Dec. 16.
