I think there's a lot of special ways to spend a holiday. But I think giving back is probably one of the best," said Jill Holder, HRDC food and nutrition director.The Fork and Spoon is preparing to serve up to 200 guests for Christmas dinner this year. With their regular nightly dinners, they usually see around 150-160 guests.Angelo Tolfa, the chef at Fork and Spoon, explained the effort put into the holiday meal preparation."It's pretty average for our numbers to do. Just doing a little bit above and beyond, doing a little extra on the meals here and there, takes a little bit of extra time to kind of put it together," he said.Tolfa has cooked in kitchens for around 25 years and said this kind of work has been the most rewarding."I'm actually excited to work for Christmas as opposed to just like sitting around the house doing nothing all day, knowing that I could have made a difference somewhere and do something fun and interesting," he said.Tolfa has crafted a menu featuring ham, turkey, beef Wellington, mashed potatoes, stuffing and the highly requested green bean casserole."They asked the customers, 'What do you usually have for Christmas?' and the resounding answer you could probably guess it was green bean casserole," Holder said. "I have to say, it is delicious, so I highly recommend it."Chef Tolfa emphasized the importance of community support in making the event possible."All the different companies in town who have been awesome to donate all the different foods that they do for us allows us to make this magic happen. Without them and without the community of volunteers, without the community of donations and such like that, none of this would be possible," he said.Last year, HRDC served 32,000 meals through Fork and Spoon and they look forward to continuing this service into the new year.Christmas Day dinner will be served from 4-6 p.m. at the Fork and Spoon located at 206 E. Griffin Drive. There are no costs or questions for those attending.</div></body>
