A Chattooga County church is offering a hot meal, and a little extra kindness happening today, Christmas Day, by inviting the community to a free Christmas lunch in Trion.

Central Avenue Baptist Church will host a FREE Christmas Day Lunch today, Thursday, December 25th, beginning at 12:30 p.m. The meal is open to everyone in the community, and church members say the goal is simple—make sure no one has to spend Christmas Day without a meal or without a sense of connection.

Organizers say the lunch is meant for anyone who could use a helping hand during the holidays, including individuals, families, seniors, or those who may be spending the day alone. There is no cost to attend, and no special sign-up is required to come eat on site.

The church is also offering delivery for homebound residents or families who do not have transportation. Anyone needing a meal delivered is asked to call 706-599-9347 to arrange drop-off details.

The lunch will be served at Central Avenue Baptist Church, located at 14074 U.S. Highway 27 in Trion. Community members are encouraged to share the information with neighbors or loved ones who might benefit.
