BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Lighthouse Mission Ministries is planning a Christmas dinner this year for people experiencing homelessness in Bellingham.

Mission CEO Hans Erchinger-Davis says the meal is especially important this year because of the pandemic and the impact recent flooding had on homeless encampments.

He says a traditional Christmas dinner with ham, potatoes and plenty of desserts will hopefully remind the less fortunate that they are loved and not alone.

The dinner will be served at Base Camp and the Mission’s Old Town location.

COVID protocols will be in place but they’ll happily bring meals outside to anyone who stops by Base Camp on Christmas Day.

Anyone who wants to help out on Christmas Day should call 360-733-5120 or visit the Lighthouse Mission website.
