Cedar Rapids Christmas dinner founder passes leadership
Jim Milden, a longtime organizer of St. Paul’s Christmas Dinner, has stepped back but remains a guiding presence as the annual event, now run by a committee including Pastor Jonathan Heifner, continues to feed about 140 guests and provide volunteer led fellowship. The dinner, first served in 1985, relies on about 70 volunteers, sponsor gifts, and food from congregants and local businesses, with meals delivered to homebound guests.
