Don’t forget: the 12th annual Perry Community Christmas Dinner will be held Monday.

The meal will be served from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at the Elks Lodge in Perry, and everyone in the community and surrounding areas is invited to the free dinner. There will be a wide variety of food available, including pork loin, turkey, ham, potatoes, salads, desserts, and more. Additionally, delivery will be available to those who are unable to make it to the Lodge, though committee member Deb Miller says they will even pick people up and bring them to the meal if they would like.

The dinner is free for everyone, though donations will be accepted with all proceeds going to the Perry Food Pantry. For delivery or to be picked up, call the Elks Lodge Monday before the meal at 515-465-3791.
