These places in Beaufort County will offer free meals on Christmas Day
The Lowcountry’s tradition of helping its neighbors continues this Christmas, ensuring everyone can enjoy a home-cooked holiday meal.
For those who may not have family nearby, plans for Christmas Day or simply want to share the holiday with others, two Beaufort area eateries will offer free community meals to celebrate the holiday.
Here’s where folks can find free, community Christmas meals this year:
A Christmas Community Lunch at Sea Eagle Market
A Christmas Community Lunch offering connection and comfort will take place at Sea Eagle Market.
The lunch will be held on Christmas Day from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 2149 Boundary Street.
All are welcome, and the event is designed to ensure that no one has to spend Christmas alone.
Sea Eagle Market says guests can expect a warm meal, friendly conversation and good company.
Orphans & Strays Christmas Dinner with Hemingway’s Bistro & Panini’s
This beloved, decades-old tradition continues on Christmas Day, starting at 2:00 p.m. at Hemingway’s Bistro on the Beaufort waterfront.
Hosted by Hemingway’s Bistro and Panini’s on the Waterfront, this annual free Community Christmas Dinner invites anyone to attend the potluck-style meal, where those who wish are encouraged to bring a side dish to share, though it is not required.
Hemingway’s and Panini’s donate their time to prepare the main entrées along with additional sides.
The meal is free and open to everyone, including locals and visitors who might otherwise have few options for spending the holiday.
Hemingway’s Bistro is located at 920 Bay Street in downtown Beaufort’s Waterfront Park, with Panini’s next door at 926 Bay Street.
