Lane County Youth Services is preparing for its 16th Annual Community Holiday Meal on Dec. 3. The event, open to everyone, will feature a free meal, raffle tickets for prizes, and food boxes available for attendees to take home.
“The holiday meal is one of the best days of the year for our youth and our staff,” said the event organizer, Senior Juvenile Justice Supervisor Shellye Reynoso. “Our youth get to show off their culinary skills and we all get to support our community and offer the chance to share a meal with others.”
The success of the event relies on donations to provide food, sponsor food boxes, and offer raffle prizes. Local businesses and individuals interested in supporting the event are encouraged to contact Shellye Reynoso at 458-234-3180 or [email protected].
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Education Center, which serves middle and high school students with active cases at Lane County Youth Services, collaborates with the Lane Education Service District to provide both academic and vocational opportunities, including a Culinary Arts Program.
