This Christmas, nobody should go hungry, said an Aldergrove-based realtor.

Sunny Sharma and his father, Dave – owner of Alder Liquor Store– are inviting people for a free meal on Christmas Day.

The father-son duo is collaborating with Veerji Fish ’n Grill, located at 27100 Fraser Hwy., to hand-out meal boxes loaded with south-Asian dishes.

The hot packaged dinner, called ‘thali’ in Punjabi, has chicken and vegetarian options. People can stop by between 2 and 6 p.m. to collect the packaged meal boxes, said Sunny.

“The meal is for the indigent families of our Aldergrove community or anyone looking for a hot meal on Christmas,” Sunny told Langley Advance Times.
