Cornelius prepares to serve up annual Community Dinner

A helping of turkey and community spirit is on the menu in Cornelius this November. The city of Cornelius is inviting residents to gather around the table for its 11th annual Community Dinner from 4-7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at Cornelius Elementary School, 200 N. 14th Ave. Organized in partnership with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the free holiday meal is open to everyone, with no reservations required. “Enjoy a welcoming evening of food, conversation and community spirit as we bring residents together to strengthen connections and foster a sense of belonging,” the city said in a release. Attendees can also take part in crafts, listen to music and access community resources. Organizers are seeking volunteers to help make the dinner possible. Those interested in lending a hand must be at least 16 years old and can sign up at corneliusor.gov/449/Cornelius-Community-Dinner.
