1st Annual Christmas Annual Dinner

This is a joint effort between the American Legion Sylvester Post 335 and Men United Sylvester Lodge 01. It is their wish to provide a meal for the elderly and those less fortunate in our community. They will be distributing up to 400 meals at 12 pm on Dec. 18th! These meals will be ready for pick up at the Shipp Center at that time. There is no cost for the recipients! The Sylvester Police Department will be delivering to the elderly and those who are confined to their homes. They would like to thank the local businesses that have come together to help make this event happen!

2. If you would like to help with the food packaging and distribution, please let them know! If everyone shows up, they will be in good shape!
3. If you would like to bake a pound cake, cookies, or brownies that can be easily added to the boxes, it would be greatly appreciated!
