Through the efforts of the Dixon City Council, workers at KSB Hospital were provided meals by local businesses as a thank you for their hard work. On Thursday, Jan. 6, 2022, Curate of Dixon prepared and delivered 108 meals.

Dixon city government posted on its Facebook page that donations from individuals and organizations surpassed a goal of $6,000 for the effort.

“This is a very small way that we can say thank you for all that they have done and continue to do for our community,” the Facebook post said.
