Like so many previous annual events, the No One Eats Alone Dinner is returning in 2022 after a COVID hiatus.
If you find yourself without anyone to share Christmas dinner with, you can enjoy a turkey dinner with all the fixings at the Northbury Hotel Dec. 25 along with other community members.
The sixth edition of the event is put on by Ward 2 Coun. Michael Vagnini in conjunction with the hotel.
Speaking to Sudbury.com at another festive community event, Vagnini said organizers are thinking they may have around 250 people attending the event this year.
“It's for people that have no place to go on Christmas Day,” he said. “The greatest thing about it is people come in, they meet their friends from before, and they all get together and they sit together.”
While there is a $15 admission fee, Vagnini said if you can’t afford a ticket, you won’t be turned away. He also said a shuttle will also be available for those who need transportation.
In 2020 and 2021, when the event couldn’t be held due to COVID public health restrictions, turkeys were instead handed out to community organizations to be distributed to those in need, Vagnini said.
Doors to the event open at 3:30 p.m. and dinner is served at 5 p.m. As stated above, admission is $15 per person at the door. Phone 705-561-5440 for reservations or more information.
