CARTHAGE, MO.--- The Carthage Crisis Center held their 7th annual Christmas Day Family Dinner. About 65 volunteers helped serve 300 people, that included making and delivering 150 take-out boxes within 20 miles of Carthage. The director says its a way for people to come together to celebrate Christmas.

"One guy told me, I just needed a place to be today. I don't have any family in the community and I just needed a place to be," states Brian Bisbee, Carthage Crisis Center Director. 

Bisbee says the dinner was made possible with the help of community donations.
