Orcas Christian School will hold its first of three free community meals on Tuesday, Jan. 10.

On the menu for January’s meal is Asian food featuring Chinese egg drop soup, chow fun noodles, fried rice, egg foo yung, eggrolls, Asian salad, fortune cookies and tea.

These all-you-can-eat dinners are open to everyone and there is no charge. The doors open at 5 p.m. and the meal is served until 7:30 p.m. The gym will be open for play from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

“It’s such a gift to bring people together,” said Deb Lloyd, an island resident who has been coming to the dinners for seven years. “It’s nice to see everyone join in. I meet old friends there and make new friends, and the food is wonderful. I wouldn’t miss it!”
