On Christmas Day at 1 PM, an army of volunteers will be serving a community dinner at  Champaign's First Christian Church, and you’re invited. This will be the nin th year for the annual dinner, which involves some 200 volunteers and a ham dinner provided by local businesses and other donors.

Volunteers in Champaign-Urbana and Hoopeston are gearing up to serve free dinners on Christmas Day, to anyone who wants to come. Both events are asking people to make their reservations by Thursday.
