Christmas For Those Alone is holding its 18th consecutive free lunch this year.
Committee member Deb Myers will attend the lunch for the first time this year as a way of helping to create a place for those who do not have company to gather together.
‘‘Christmas For Those Alone provides Christmas lunch for anyone out there in our community that might be alone or might not have someone to spend christmas with,’’ Ms Myers said.
She said the volunteers played an equally major role in keeping the event running.
‘‘Our lovely volunteers that come and help us year in year out are just amazing,’’ she said.
Ms Myers said with more than 350 people expected to attend this year’s lunch, more volunteers were encouraged to get involved.
She said as a way of making sure community members who wished to attend could do so, transportation would also be available.
The Christmas For Those Alone Lunch will be held from 11am to 2pm at the McIntosh Centre, Shepparton Showgrounds.
