If you’re feeling a little lonely this Christmas, or don’t have the dollars for a turkey and the trimmings, you’re invited to the free community Christmas lunch held in Ballina’s Presbyterian hall on Christmas day.
This is the sixth year now that the event – a joint venture between the churches of Ballina – has been held, and each year around 150 delicious meals have been dished up by eager volunteers.
Once again the church is putting the call out for volunteers on the day, with the cut off date being the second week in December.
The event is also made possible local businesses and people who have kindly supported it over the years, as this would not be possible without their over whelming support.
The dinner will be held on Christmas day between 12pm and 2pm in the Ballina Presbyterian hall, on the corner of Cherry and Crane Street.
The event is alcohol free.
For all enquiries phone Chris on 0431630900.
