Drayton Valley Community Dinners Coming Back
A popular monthly tradition will be returning for another year in Drayton Valley.
The Community Dinners, which were set to end this month, will be starting up again in the New Year thanks to an initiative by the Drayton Valley Community Foundation to bring them back.
Originally started in 2017 by Drayton Valley Family and Community Support Services (FCSS), the meals are sponsored by local businesses and agencies and put on by volunteers. The pay-what-you-can or nothing at all dinners were meant to bring people together, and they did; the last dinner held on December 3 had over 500 people attend.
Due to the amount of work the dinners take, FCSS decided this Fall not to take on the meals for another year.
