CHRISTMAS DAY IS COMING, AND THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU AT the

---

The 44th Annual Bounty of Bethlehem Christmas Dinner is coming on December 25, 2026, and once again, our community will come together to create something pretty special.

Bounty of Bethlehem is more than a Christmas dinner. It’s a day of fellowship, generosity, and community — made possible by hundreds of volunteers, donors, churches, businesses, and neighbors who believe Christmas is better when it’s shared.

And there are so many ways to be part of it.

Volunteer opportunities will range from preparing and serving meals to helping with deliveries, welcoming guests, setting up, cleaning up, and the many other jobs it takes to bring Bounty to life. Our online volunteer registration will open later this fall, so watch this website and our social media pages for details.

Financial gifts are also an important part of making Christmas Day possible. Every contribution helps provide the food, supplies, and other resources needed to prepare and share thousands of freshly prepared traditional Christmas Day Dinners with thousands of guests, First Responders working on Christmas Day, and, of course, our local homebound residents who benefit from our partnership with Mountain Area Aging Partners' Meals on Wheels Program. 

And perhaps the easiest way to be part of Bounty? Come join us.

No qualifications to meet, no reason to give, and no explanation required. Whether you’re looking for a place to spend Christmas Day, would enjoy sharing a meal with others, or simply want to experience the warmth of this community tradition, you'll find a welcoming seat at our table.

As Christmas approaches, we’ll share more about volunteer opportunities, ways to give, and plans for this year’s celebration.

However you choose to take part — by volunteering, giving, or simply joining us on Christmas Day — we hope you’ll be part of Bounty of Bethlehem 2026.

With gratitude and anticipation,

Chris Wilson
Director, Bounty of Bethlehem
