DeKalb County Community Gardens’ Genoa Area Community Food Hub will host another Community Holiday Meal–free to the community–on Thursday, December 17.

Holiday meals will be available drive-thru style at The Hub (located at 415 W. Main Street, Genoa) from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm (or until meals run out). A traditional holiday meal of baked ham and trimmings will be prepared by Voluntary Action Center of DeKalb County.

The Genoa Hub, serves over 100 hungry families each month. The number of residents coming to the Hub have increased even further due to the impacts of COVID-19 such as unemployment, underemployment, an unexpected medical or car bill or additional family members joining the household. A variety of programs help bring extra groceries
to family tables including:

• The Food Pantry at the Genoa Hub is open to Genoa-Kingston residents the first and third Monday mornings and the second and fourth Tuesday evenings of each month.
• Monthly “pay-as-you’re-able” dinners open to all community members. Served drive-thru style due to COVID-19 precautions, many of these meals have been prepared by local talent. (The December 17 meal will be shared in the spirit of community and the holidays No meal donations are expected.)
