Caring continues as Chinook Winds coordinates Operation Christmas Spirit
Operation Christmas Spirit provides
a free traditional Christmas dinner to our
community every year on Christmas Day
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Lincoln City
Community Center.
Planning has begun by Chinook
Winds Casino Resort staff, supported by
generous local support from volunteers
and businesses. Thus far, a big “thank
you!” goes to the Lincoln City Community
Center for the use of its kitchen and ban-
quet room and to North Lincoln Sanitary
for free garbage pick-up after the event.
The program still needs desserts to
round out the tasty holiday meal. We’ve
been able to count upon our generous
bakers’ contributions in years past. This
year, we expect nearly 500 people – or
more – to stop in for a traditional hot
Christmas dinner.
If you would like to contribute a
dessert, please drop it off at the Lincoln
City Community Center on Dec. 24 from
noon to 4 p.m. or on Christmas Day from
8 a.m. to noon.
