Not everyone has many places to go on Christmas to celebrate and enjoy a good meal.
Luckily there are plenty of places offering free or very affordable Christmas breakfast and lunch.
These meals are for individuals and families who are experiencing loneliness or hardship, and who would benefit from a community gathering.
