(EMPIRE NEWS NETWORK—ENN)— SAN BERNARDINO, CA—- Annually, on December 24 (Christmas Eve), from noon to 2 p.m., the men of St. Andrews Masonic Lodge #16 provide free hot turkey dinners to the local communities and people in need.

Prior to the event, the Masons make a list of sick or otherwise “shut-in” local people to whom to deliver hot meals and grocery baskets to.

St. Andrews Masonic Lodge is located at 1038 West 8^th Street in San Bernardino.

Wearing heavy insulated gloves, Masons unloaded the bubbling hot food from their bus.
Young volunteers wait for their assignments.
Everyone can get a plate of their own.
Some volunteers served on the ‘serving line’:Ortha Calloway, Essie Williams, Neuman Sneed, Jordan Dean-Reynoso, Faye Jack, Tensia Cadell, & Emarie Green.
Santa, of course, was there, & also took time to attend to the needs of ‘big kids’ too.
Alvin Holder opens the event with a ‘word of prayer’.
