Every year, some great people dedicate little bit of their life to ensure our community enjoys a
traditional holiday feast. Over the years we average 700 meals, peaking prior to Covid at 1,000 that were
prepared and served to the community thanks to those people. This event takes 100’s of volunteer
hours to put together. This year looks to be another huge event, and your help is needed.
If you can spare a little bit of your time, even an hour, to help support your community for this event,
please call the American Legion at (608) 269-4411 and leave your contact information. Our volunteer
coordinator for this event, will call you back and let you know how and when your valuable time can be
utilized to the fullest. On Christmas Day, we start at 7am packaging delivery and cutting pies. The bulk of
volunteers come in around 9am to prep the serving line and drivers for delivery assignments.
Your volunteer time will be appreciated, and remember the meal is free, or free will donation, to all
comers. Any proceeds left over from donations will be returned to the community through various local
charities. We encourage you take advantage of our delivery service. Take out and dine in is available for
everyone also.
The event is on 25 December, 2023 at the American Legion Post #100 at 1116 Angelo Rd in Sparta.
Delivery services are available to those that cannot come by calling the American Legion (608-269-4411).
Also due to increased costs and supply chain issues we could use a little more help. If you would like to
make a monetary donation, make checks payable to the American Legion Post #100 and put Christmas
dinner in the memo line. Checks can be mailed to American Legion Post #100, 1116 Angelo Rd, Sparta,
WI 54656 or dropped off.
