The struggle to meet basic needs, such as food, is a year-round challenge for some people. It can be especially tough during the holiday season. This is a reality for many, including families, single parents, the homeless, and others in need. In light of this, SJMBC extends a warm invitation to our free Christmas day dinner. Join us in spreading the holiday cheer!
