Chefs Mente Lawsonand Matthew Roller prepared a menu of holiday ham with side dishes and pie that was delivered by Blackwall volunteer staff to the homes of seven families on December 24.

“We appreciate great support from the community all year long and look for ways we can make a difference,” said James King, CEO of Blackwall’s parent company Mid-States Management. “It is gratifying to see the response from our restaurant staff who take this project to heart each year. We look forward to continuing this tradition.”
