The progressive dinner has been held since 2000 and all of the food is donated by various people and groups throughout the community.

The dinner is held at the four corners churches starting at First Baptist, First Presbyterian, St. Stephen’s Episcopal and ending at Grace Methodist.

“This is a very worthy cause,” Jacquie Phagan said. “We would also like to that the school sisters of Notre Dame for all of their help.”
