A Very Merry (Drive Through) Dinner

A Very Merry Dinner is an annual event that provides a great holiday meal and gifts for children in need in four local school districts. Families are able to pick up their complete meal and gifts in a convenient drive-through, allowing them to get home to spend more time together during the holiday season.

Tell Us Your Holiday Wishes

Every child deserves a joyous holiday season and gifts that bring a smile to their face. Whether it’s that fun new toy, the cool game that all of their friends are playing or a new coat or jacket to help keep them warm, we want to hear what’s at the top of your child’s list. Log in below to submit that list so our team can get to work finding that perfect present.

On your district’s scheduled pickup date, come to the pickup location provided to you and your holiday meal and gifts will be delivered to your vehicle. It’s that simple. In a matter of minutes, you’ll be on your way and free to enjoy holiday time at home with your family.
