Holiday ministry features heat-and-serve meals
By TAMMY
MALGESINI
East Oregonian
HERMISTON — Volun-
teers with the Community
Fellowship Dinner are making
a list and checking it twice.
With Thanksgiving on the
horizon, members of the core
crew have been busy prepar-
ing for the fi rst of Hermiston’s
free holiday meals, said Cathy
Stolz, a member of the CFD
board of directors.
Chairman
Gary
Humphreys said with the
lingering uncertainty in
regards to COVID-19, the
board made a decision to
again provide heat-and-serve
meals.
The longtime holiday meal
ministry off ered drive-thru
pick-up service for its Thanks-
giving and Christmas dinners
in 2020.
“It’s hard because the fi rst
two words in our name are
‘community’ and ‘fellow-
ship,’ and there isn’t much
fellowship going on with this
model,” Humphreys said in an
interview earlier this month
with EO Media Group.
Anyone that wants a tradi-
tional Thanksgiving meal is
invited to pick one up Thurs-
day, Nov. 25, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
in the parking lot at Herm-
iston High School, 600 S.
First St. Meals do not have
to be ordered in advance —
community members are
invited to drive up and receive
a meal for each person in their
household.
In addition, limited deliv-
ery service is available. To
have a meal delivered, call
541-571-1337 no later than
7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov.
24.
Stolz said while volunteers
won’t be able to sit down and
visit with diners as in past
years prior to the pandemic,
the objective of providing a
traditional meal is important.
The menu includes turkey,
mashed potatoes, vegetables,
a roll and dessert.
“The man who started
this years ago … had spent
so many holidays by himself
without a nice turkey or ham
dinner,” Stolz said. “His
whole idea was that nobody
had to go without a holiday
dinner on the holiday.”
Last year’s holiday season,
Humphreys said, served a
record 2,300 meals between
Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas. While the board doesn’t
expect the numbers to be that
high this year, Humphreys
said they will prepare extra
meals — just in case.
“It is delicious. The gravy
and the dressing are seasoned
so well,” Stolz said. And she

free meal will be available for pick-up service Thursday, Nov. 25, 2021 — Thanksgiving Day —
at Hermiston High School. Limited delivery service also will be available.
MORE INFORMATION
In addition to the Community Fellowship Dinner in Hermiston, several other communities are off er-
ing holiday meals on Thanksgiving Day. Each of the dinners are free to anyone in the community.
PENDLETON
Community Dinner: To Go Style
• The Salvation Army
• 150 S.E. Emigrant Ave.
• 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A traditional holiday meal of turkey with all the
fi xings, including dessert, will be packaged hot
and ready-to-eat. Anyone that wants a meal
is invited to stop by for the takeout service.
Deliveries for senior citizens, shut-ins and
those with disabilities need to be arranged by
Wednesday, Nov. 24.
Because of continued COVID-19 concerns,
The Salvation Army Pendleton Corps is not
utilizing volunteers at this time. However, the
community can still help by donating food,
supplies and fi nancial contributions, said Maj.
Toni Halstad.
Even if an abundance of donations come in,
she said they will be graciously accepted and
used. The number of people the nonprofi t
organization has been serving in its regular
meal program has greatly increased since the
beginning of the pandemic. Also, Halstad said
costs have skyrocketed with preparing to-go
meals six days a week instead of having dine-
in service at the facility. Clamshell packaging,
plastic utensils, paper products, plastic bags
and bottled water are among some of their
needs
“That stuff gets expensive,” Halstad said. “Every
little bit helps.”
For questions or to schedule delivery service,
call 541-276-3369. For more information,
