For nearly a decade, the Starr family in Sturgeon Bay has kept a seat saved for you on Christmas Eve. For the ninth time, Kyle and Carrie Starr are inviting the community to the Knights of Columbus Hall off State Highway 42/57 in Sturgeon Bay for a free Christmas Eve meal.
What began with a mission trip Kyle went on years ago has turned into a tradition, with hundreds of meals served every year. Carrie says the event continues to grow, which is why the invitation to the community is going out more than a month earlier than usual. Starr says the phone calls and text messages are constant leading up to the event, serving as a reminder that we are all called to serve in one way or another.
The traditional Christmas Eve lunch will be offered as a sit-down meal or drive-thru takeout Dec. 24 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Starr says that if you are more focused on Thanksgiving than Christmas Eve, don't worry. An RSVP for in-person dining is appreciated but not necessary, while special deliveries can be requested until 8 a.m. on Dec. 23.
