RICHMOND, Va. β Bridging RVA served up thousands of free meals at the organization's 11th annual Community Christmas Day dinner on Thursday.
The organization transformed Congregation Beth Ahabah's Fellowship Hall into a sit-down restaurant, serving guests with the help of hundreds of volunteers.
"This year we have engaged over 300 volunteers to pull this off," said Lee Ann Sawyer, executive director of Bridging RVA. "The hands and feet on the ground started last week with the preparations. So today, as of today, we'll have about 124 volunteers that have left their homes and came with us on Christmas Day to spend time serving their community, which is just amazing."
In addition to over 1000 served at Congregation Beth Ahabah, Bridging RVA also delivered over 1800 meals on Christmas.
