About this event

While going without necessities like food is a serious issue throughout the year, Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for low-income families, single parents, the homeless, and all that are in need. SJMBC invites you to our FREE Christmas Day Dinner.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this year’s dinner will be a drive-thru event and if you don’t have a vehicle, you can walk-thru. The FREE Christmas Day Dinner, which is spearheaded by the St, John Missionary Baptist Church, will be conducted along 5th Street and Market Street in Alton, Illinois on Christmas Day starting at 11:00 a.m.

SJMBC has been hosting the FREE Christmas Day dinner since 2013 and wants to continue the tradition in a safe and respectful manner. All dinners will be available as pickup and go. Our building will be closed to the general public with restricted use by the volunteers. Several safety measures will be taken. Food preparation will be completed offsite before the event. All volunteers will be physically distant and wearing masks and gloves. Volunteers handing over the to-go meals will also be masked and gloved and follow distancing rules. We are requiring our guests to social distance and wear face masks for this event.

Due to the pandemic, we are doing a scaled-back menu which will include turkey, ham, dressing, macaroni and cheese, green beans, dinner rolls, and dessert. SJMBC plans to serve between 150-200 meals this year. Although we will accommodate those who don’t reserve their meals, we strongly encourage everyone interested in obtaining a FREE Christmas Day Dinner, to complete the online registration to reserve their free dinner: https://www.ticketsource.us/sjmbc
