Posted

Amaral’s Fish & Chips held their 11th Annual Holiday Dinner on Sunday, bringing in a crowd of people throughout the day to enjoy a hearty, home cooked meal at no cost.

The family, consisting of current owners Tony and Donald Amaral, sisters Dot (Amaral) Valenzuela, Lubella Amaral, Lucy (Amaral) DaSilva, and brother Gil Amaral, as well as Sherry Amaral, Brian Amaral, Meghan Amaral, Josh Amaral, Shawn Amaral, Chelsea Vieira, Hector Valenzuela, and Holly Amaral, all pitch in to make the event a special occasion for the hundreds who benefit from their generosity.

“Everyone here at the restaurant is so happy to do this for those who need a dinner,” said Lubella Amaral in a piece previewing the event. Those on hand said that they felt this year’s event was the biggest they’ve had yet.
