Catholic volunteers embrace opportunities to spread holiday cheer

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

Carving out volunteer time during the busy holiday season — particularly on Christmas Day — can be a daunting task.

Yet people like Mary Kay Brown, Adelaide Goldman and Anne Hudson don’t view such efforts as sacrifices; rather, they embrace the opportunity to extend holiday cheer to folks who need it the most.

Brown, for one, is looking forward to her annual role as coordinator of the Christmas Day dinner at Elmira Community Kitchen. She’ll spend a good chunk of her holiday overseeing approximately 40 volunteers during a pair of three-hour shifts. They will prepare and serve a free, full holiday dinner from 2 to 3 p.m. for local residents who can’t afford their own meals, or have nobody with whom to share them — or both.
