The Allen area community turned out to enjoy the first annual Christmas dinner and blanket drive this past Friday evening. Over 250 dinners were served and over 300 blankets were donated to aid residents in need of warmth.

Thank you for all who donated money, time, blankets, jackets, hats and gloves, as well as items for the personal care drive. Over 100 stockings of care items were distributed to people of all ages at the Allen Community Christmas Dinner.

It is hoped you left feeling the spirit of Christmas and what this season is truly about!
