KENT, Wash. — Four hundred people were able to enjoy a Christmas meal courtesy of Nana’s Southern Kitchen in Kent and the restaurant’s community partners.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the restaurant prepared takeout meals for the public.
The restaurant asked partakers to wear a mask.
“My great grandmother, Nana, used her food to bring people together, teach life lessons and welcomed everyone,” Minor said. “Service was in my great-grandma’s DNA. She made sure everyone always had a full belly whether they were going to work, church or school. We do the same, ensuring our customers get exceptional service, even while on the go with our takeout meals.”
The free meals that were given out on Christmas Day is an annual event that continues in the welcoming spirit of Nana’s namesake Myrtle Henderson, according restaurant co-owner Todd Minor.
