🎄🎄🎄
As wonderful as this time of year is, we know that sometimes it can be stressful and overwhelming for families to make everything as perfect as they want it to be. Everyone deserves to have a home cooked holiday meal to enjoy with their family. As our gift to our community, we would like to help ease that burden, if even just a little bit, this Christmas.

We will be giving out 100 boxed, complete holiday meals for your family to enjoy. Our boxes will include:
- 4 lb Boneless Ham
- Mashed Potatoes
- Macaroni & Cheese
- Corn
- Green Beans
- Cornbread Mix
- Gravy Mix
- Brownie Mix

If you are in need of a holiday meal to share with your family, all you have to do is show up. We will have a drive thru pickup line in the parking lot of the funeral home. You do not need to get out of your car, you do not need to sign up. Simply show up on Saturday, December 21 at 10:00 AM and we will put a box right in the back of your car. We will only have 100 dinner boxes, so once they are gone, that is all we have.

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and we hope that your holiday is filled with spending time with your families. From our family to yours. ❤️
