Infinite Horizons Foundation Supported the Earl Naswell Community Christmas Dinner
During the 2025 holiday season, Infinite Horizons Foundation was proud to support one of the Comox Valley’s longest-running holiday traditions: the Earl Naswell Community Christmas Dinner, included as part of Mazda Legends 2025.
What began in 1982 as a small gathering organized by Earl Naswell had grown into a beloved community event - one that provided 1,000 free Christmas dinner packages to individuals and families across the Comox Valley. Being part of this tradition allowed our team to see firsthand how powerful community support can be during the holidays.
A Community Feast Made Possible by Local Support
The 2025 Community Christmas Dinner was built on generosity from local farms, businesses, donors, and volunteers. That year’s meal included:
175 loaves of bread for handmade stuffing
400 pounds of potatoes
1,500 pounds of turkey
24 Hertel hams
Fresh vegetables donated by Sieffert’s Farm
Locally grown cranberries
Homemade gravy, prepared in large batches
Infinite Horizons Foundation contributed $1,500 toward the meal program, helping ensure every package met the high standard this event has become known for.
Volunteer-Powered From Start to Finish
More than 100 volunteers came together to make the 2025 Christmas dinner possible. From chefs and food prep teams to organizers, drivers, and dishwashers, every role played a part in making sure meals were prepared and delivered with care. Members of our own team joined in on Christmas Day - peeling, packaging, carrying, and delivering meals throughout the Comox Valley.
Seeing so many people work together reminded us why the Earl Naswell Christmas Dinner has remained such a meaningful community tradition for more than four decades.
Carrying Forward Earl Naswell’s Legacy
Now operating as a registered CRA charity, the Earl Naswell Community Christmas Society continues to uphold Earl’s legacy of kindness and inclusivity. We were grateful for the opportunity to support the Society during the 2025 holiday season and to contribute to an event that brings comfort, nourishment, and connection to so many people in our region.
Supporting this initiative allowed us to take part in something bigger than a single meal - it offered a moment of warmth and community at a time of year when it matters most.
