Winston Speedway's new owners, Andrew and Crystal Heykoop, this week announced they will host a series of free community dinners for the month of November aimed at aiding local families affected by the incoming reductions in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
The dinners are open to all and will take place each Tuesday and Wednesday in November, beginning Nov. 4, from 5-7 p.m. at the Rothbury Community Center.
The federal government has been shut down since Oct. 1, and the program will reportedly not distribute full benefits Nov. 1.
The meals will be the first charitable events undertaken by the speedway under new ownership, with this and future events part of its The Track Gives Back initiative.
Donations and volunteers from local businesses are welcomed and appreciated at the dinner.
