As hundreds of kids in Ellis County continue to enjoy the toys and games they received from attending the fifth annual Community Christmas Dinner in Hays, Director Brittany Lang is already gearing up for next year’s free community dinner.

Lang said the fifth annual dinner, held at the VFW on Christmas Day, was a huge success. In fact, more than 625 community members were served this year – compared to just 375 last year.

Lang said it is solely donations and volunteers that have kept the Community Christmas Dinner a success. The dinner is not affiliated with a specific organization or church.

Donations toward the dinner can be made by calling Brittany Lang at (785) 259-3766 or by email at [email protected].
