The Arcata House Partnership will be hosting meal events during Christmas week to help folks in need of a hot meal during the holiday season.

Meals will be available from noon to 3 p.m. at the nonprofit’s Ninth Street annex Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

In addition to lending a helping hand, the partnership is asking those with means to aid the effort by volunteering to cook or clean up, or by donating to the cause (cider and cinnamon sticks are a special request) or by giving clothes, blankets and socks.

To contact AHP about volunteering and/or donating, call 298-7610 or email volunteer@arcatahouse.org.
