The Worthington Times

The Worthington Police Department will treat the community with another one of their free dinners next Monday, October 29.

The officers will be going above and beyond the call of their normal duties by donning chef's hats and dishwasher aprons to serve a home-cooked meal from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the dining room of V.F.W. Post 7117 in Worthington, Indiana.

As usual, Worthington Town Marshal Dennis Conaway will serve as the head chef of a menu that includes his homemade vegetable soup, fresh-baked bread, tossed salad and tea and coffee.

The ladies of the Worthington Senior Citizens Center have also volunteered to contribute to this benefit with their dessert expertise.  They'll be delivering homemade pies and cakes.

The VFW is supporting the project by opening their dining hall and providing use of the kitchen facilities.  The VFW will also be buying everything on the chef's grocery list.

The WPD invites everyone in and out of Worthington to come to lunch on Monday.

This benefit is free - the WPD does not set any specific cost for the meal.  But they will be accepting donations of any amount people want to give.

Each year, the officers work to raise funds which they use to make sure children within their community have a good Christmas.  All donations received at the dinner will be deposited into the WPD's Children's Christmas Fund.
