LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — As concerns continue to rise for community members hit by the delay in federal food assistance, the Cobb Mountain Lions Club is planning to offer a free, hot meal for those who need it.

The dinner will take place at the club’s community center, located at the Little Red Schoolhouse, from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10.

“Did you know that 23% of Lake County residents receive assistance through food programs such as CalFresh? With the program's funding in jeopardy due to the government shutdown, we're rolling up our sleeves to help,” the club said in its announcement about the dinner.

The community is invited to join them for a meal and good conversation.

On the menu are burgers — regular and veggie — along with hot dogs, baked beans, salad and a few sweet treats, although they said the menu is subject to change.

Those who plan to attend also are asked to bring their own plates and utensils if they have some.

The Little Red Schoolhouse is located at 15780 Bottle Rock Road.
