Newton County, IN – As Christmas Day approaches, a local volunteer program is once again stepping up to make sure no Newton County resident goes without a warm meal during the holidays.
According to organizers, Newton County Santa Chefs will provide free, hot meal deliveries to residents facing hardship or need on Christmas Day. The long-running community effort focuses on supporting individuals, families, and seniors who may otherwise be alone or struggling during the holiday season.
Residents requesting a home-delivered meal are asked to complete an online request form by Friday, December 20. Organizers say the deadline is necessary to allow volunteers time to prepare meals and coordinate delivery routes across the county.
In addition to meal deliveries, Santa Chefs is also hosting an open community Christmas meal for anyone who would prefer to dine in person. The meal will be served at the Morocco Firehouse on Christmas Day from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. CST. No sign-up or registration is required to attend.
Organizers emphasize that the event is open to all Newton County residents, regardless of circumstance.
“We never want anyone to be alone on the holidays,” organizers shared in the program announcement. “This is about bringing people together and making sure everyone has a place to enjoy a Christmas meal.”
Santa Chefs relies on local volunteers and community support each year to prepare, package, and deliver meals throughout the county. Residents who know someone in need are encouraged to share the request information with them before the deadline.
Those seeking a delivered meal can find the request form by scanning the QR code featured on official Santa Chefs flyers circulating throughout the community.
