OXFORD -- In considering the warmer weather, the weekly Oxford ‘Soup & Sandwich Dinner’ is now christened the ‘Salad and Sandwich Dinner’ for the remainder of the summer.

Every Monday at 5:30 p.m., the Episcopal Parish House Community Center in Oxford hosts and serves a free dinner for those in need.

Up until May 29 of this year, freshly made meals had consisted of soups from scratch and sandwiches. Now with the temperature heating up, the steering committee of the soup kitchen has decided to change the menu to salads and sandwiches through the month of September.

All are invited to enjoy a free meal on any given Monday consisting of family style salad, made-to-order sandwiches, a beverage of the diner’s choice, and dessert. Through the summer, it’s reported that local garden fresh vegetables and fruits will be included in all meals.
