Community of volunteers host free dinner for those alone on Christmas

EAST PROVIDENCE, RI – What started with five local members of the community who wanted to do something kind for those in need, has become an annual event for those alone on Christmas.

The crew of East Providence elves have launched the East Providence Community Dinner, which is free to all in the community and beyond.

On Christmas Day, a team of volunteers serve a full, free dinner with all of the fixings and dessert to those who do not wish to be alone on Christmas.
