A decades-long tradition begins its Christmas Day preparations on Tuesday -- the Bounty of Bethlehem’s 40th annual Christmas dinner.
Tuesday kicks off the turkey and ham gathering and closer to Christmas they will be asking for dessert donations.
You can bring those donations to the Hendersonville Salvation Army, located at 239 3rd Ave East, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Last year they were able to feed around 2,500 people and this year they hope to match that number.
Bounty of Bethlehem director Annamarie Jakubielski tells us more about this tradition.
“Bounty of Bethlehem is a community Christmas dinner," she says. "We come together to make sure that no one is alone on Christmas. This happens on Christmas Day but like I said, it’s a little bit of hard work in the dates leading up to it.”
Like last year, the dinner will we held at the Salvation Army of Hendersonville from 12:30 to 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 25.
They are also looking for volunteers and monetary donations. CLICK HERE if you would like to contribute.
