The Friendship Inn needs volunteers to help prepare and serve 1,500 to 2,000 meals at its annual Easter dinner.

Service will be slower without help, executive director Sandra Stack said, “and it just is going to mean that maybe less people will be able to experience it, because we won’t be able to get everyone through in the allotted time.

“So the urgency is just because it’s going to be so overwhelming with people and so many children needing a meal. We just need volunteers to help prepare it and actually put it into action.”

The meal is scheduled for Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The menu is turkey and ham with scalloped potatoes and green beans.

“It’s important for everyone to celebrate a festive occasion, especially Easter, and it’s important that we have the space for families to be able to eat together,” Stack said.

“I think that’s the most important thing that I can stress, is that when we have these celebrations it’s time for all of the family to come together and sit together at the table.”
