Bethlehem, Pa., December 5, 2005—For the seventh consecutive
year, Moravian College will host a holiday luncheon at the Cathedral Church of the
Nativity to provide food to residents of Bethlehem who might otherwise not be able
to enjoy a seasonal feast. The luncheon will be held on Saturday, December 10th from

social service agencies including the South Bethlehem Neighborhood Center, Center City
Ministries Shelter, New Bethany Ministries, Trinity Episcopal Church, Fountain Hill
School Family Center, Turning Point, and Donegan School Family Center.
For each of the last six years, more than fifty Moravian College faculty, staff, and
students have volunteered to help serve a traditional holiday dinner of turkey, stuffing,
mashed potatoes, carrots, cakes, and pies. Moravian College continues its partnership
with social services agencies to provide outreach to residents of Bethlehem that would
benefit from some holiday spirit and a nutritious hot meal. Cathedral Church donates
their site and Moravian College provides the food and volunteers for the luncheon. Moravian
College volunteers will set-up for the event, serve food, and greet and interact with
guests and their children. Arts and crafts activities will be available for the children
to enjoy, and the Moravian Jazz musicians will provide entertainment.
