The SIRCH Bistro in Haliburton village will be opening its doors to the public again Dec. 25, offering a free family-style Christmas dinner to the community for the second straight year.
SIRCH’s Laurie McCaig said anyone is welcome. “Come as you are, there’s no need to pre-register.
If you’re feeling lonely over the holidays or a turkey dinner is just out of reach for you this year, we can help,” McCaig said.
“Nobody should be alone for Christmas – we want this to feel like a true community table.”
Doors open at noon, with food to be served until 6 p.m. There will be turkey and potatoes with all the fixings and dessert to follow.
The dinner is sponsored by Todd’s Independent, who is donating all the food.
Donations are welcome but never expected, McCaig said.
SIRCH launched this program in 2024, with 40 to 50 people attending. “Last year, we felt the need was there and this year the need is even greater,” McCaig said
